# How to display a custom map on a web with Leaflet

This example demonstrates how to display a custom map from MapTiler on a web page using Leaflet JS.

To create your first custom map, check out the [How to create a custom map](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/general/how-to-create-custom-map/) tutorial.

1.  Copy the following code, paste it into your favorite text editor, and save it as a `.html` file.
    
    ```html
    <!DOCTYPE html>
     <html>
       <head>
         <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no" />
         <title>Display a custom map</title>
         <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.9.4/dist/leaflet.css" />
         <script src="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.9.4/dist/leaflet.js"></script>
         <style>
           #map {position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0;}
         </style>
       </head>
       <body>
         <div id="map">
           <a href="https://www.maptiler.com" style="position:absolute;left:10px;bottom:10px;z-index:999;"><img src="https://api.maptiler.com/resources/logo.svg" alt="MapTiler logo"></a>
         </div>
         <p><a href="https://www.maptiler.com/copyright/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&copy; MapTiler</a> <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&copy; OpenStreetMap contributors</a></p>
         <script>
           const key = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
           const map = L.map('map').setView([46.948652944430734, 10.989249486220501], 12); //starting position
           L.tileLayer(`https://api.maptiler.com/maps/streets-v4/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=${key}`,{ //style URL
             tileSize: 512,
             zoomOffset: -1,
             minZoom: 1,
             attribution: "\u003ca href=\"https://www.maptiler.com/copyright/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026copy; MapTiler\u003c/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026copy; OpenStreetMap contributors\u003c/a\u003e",
             crossOrigin: true
           }).addTo(map);
         </script>
       </body>
     </html>
    ```
    

1.  Install the npm package.
    
    ```bash
    npm install --save leaflet
    ```
    
2.  Include the CSS file.
    
    If you have a bundler that can handle CSS, you can [`import`](#) the CSS or include it with a [`<link>`](#) in the head of the document via the CDN
    
    ```js
    import "leaflet/dist/leaflet.css";
    ```
    
    ```html
    <link href='https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.9.4/dist/leaflet.css' rel='stylesheet' />
    ```
    
3.  Include the following code in your JavaScript file (Example: main.js).
    
    ```js
    import L from 'leaflet';
        
    const key = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
    const map = L.map('map').setView([46.948652944430734, 10.989249486220501], 12); //starting position
    L.tileLayer(`https://api.maptiler.com/maps/streets-v4/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=${key}`,{ //style URL
      tileSize: 512,
      zoomOffset: -1,
      minZoom: 1,
      attribution: "\u003ca href=\"https://www.maptiler.com/copyright/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026copy; MapTiler\u003c/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026copy; OpenStreetMap contributors\u003c/a\u003e",
      crossOrigin: true
    }).addTo(map);
    ```
    

1.  Replace `YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE` with [your own API key](https://cloud.maptiler.com/account/keys/). Make sure to [secure the key](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/credentials/api-key/#secure-key) before you publish it.
    
2.  The next is up to you. You can center your map wherever you desire (modifying the `starting position`) and set an appropriate zoom level (modifying the `starting zoom`) to match your users’ needs. Additionally, you can change the map’s look (by updating the `source URL`); choose from a range of visually appealing map styles from our extensive [MapTiler standard maps](https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/), or create your own to truly differentiate your application.
    

1.  Replace the tileLayer URL with your custom map style. Check the [Publish the map](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/general/how-to-create-custom-map/#publish-the-map) section to get the URL of your custom style.
    
    ```js
    L.tileLayer(`https://api.maptiler.com/maps/YOUR_CUSTOM_MAP_ID/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=${key}`,{
       tileSize: 512,
       zoomOffset: -1,
       minZoom: 1,
       attribution: "\u003ca href=\"https://www.maptiler.com/copyright/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026copy; MapTiler\u003c/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026copy; OpenStreetMap contributors\u003c/a\u003e",
       crossOrigin: true
     }).addTo(map);
    ```
