Put a Shapefile onto your Map as a Layer | Leaflet Map

 When I am done with this tutorial, you will be able to overlay a Shapefile to your map created using the Leaflet library without any stress. Here we will guide you on how to convert the Shapefile to a format that the Leaflet can work with, which is GeoJSON. Here, we will explain how to convert this file for you, do it with the help of QGIS or GDAL if needed, and then, explain how to include this GeoJSON file into your map based on the Leaflet library. Next, you will learn how to initialize your Leaflet map, add GeoJSON data to it and last but not least how to style it.

That is why at the end of this video you will have a fully operational map based on the Leaflet framework that will display Shapefile data as a unique layer. Regardless of the type of project that you have – a GIS project for example or a project that entails creating a web mapping application, this tutorial will enable one to add more details to your maps with acceptable Shapefile data.
