How to create a simple Leaflet web map that automatically pulls data from two simple Google Sheets tables. Sidebar created using leaflet-sidebar-v2, and Google Sheets connection with PapaParse.
The resultant map can be seen here: https://rdrn.me/leaflet-gsheets/
I explained the process in more length in my blog post here: Leaflet maps with data from Google Sheets.
- Open the following two Google Sheets and copy them to your account (top left, "Add to My Drive")
- In each one, do the following three steps:
- In Google Sheets, go to File -> Publish to the Web -> Publish
- Choose "Comma-separated values (.csv)" in the dropdown on the right
- Then copy the link provided just underneath, and save it somewhere
- Back in GitHub, Fork this repo (top right of this page)
- Either clone/download your new repo to your machine, or use GitHub's built-in code editor, and open leaflet-gsheets.js
- At line 20 where it says "PASTE YOUR URLs HERE", paste the URLs you copied above
- If you want to display your new website using GitHub Pages:
- Click Settings -> go down to GitHub Pages -> under Source choose master branch
- It may take a while, but the site should become available at your-username.github.io/leaflet-gsheets
- Customise the Google Sheets with the data you want
- Customise the JavaScript however you want...
