leaflet-measure adds L.Control.Measure. This control may be used with the standard Leaflet control workflows described in the Leaflet docs.
The measure control can be instantiated directly and added to a map:
var myMap = L.map('mapElementId', options);
var measureControl = new L.Control.Measure(options);
measureControl.addTo(myMap);
or instantiated via the factory:
var myMap = L.map('mapElementId', options);
var measureControl = L.control.measure(options);
measureControl.addTo(myMap);
or added to a map using map options:
var myMap = L.map('mapElementId', {
measureControl: true
});
{ position: 'topright' }
Standard Leaflet control position options
{ primaryLengthUnit: 'feet', secondaryLengthUnit: 'miles' }

Custom units to make available to the measurement calculator. Packaged units are feet, meters, miles, and kilometers for length and acres, hectares, sqfeet, sqmeters, and sqmiles for areas. Additional unit definitions can be added to the packaged units using this option.
Define units as
{
someNewUnit: {
factor: 0.001, // Required. Factor to apply when converting to this unit. Length in meters or area in sq meters will be multiplied by this factor.
display: 'My New Unit', // Required. How to display in results, like.. "300 Meters (0.3 My New Unit)".
decimals: 2 // Number of decimals to round results when using this unit. `0` is the default value if not specified.
},
myOtherNewUnit: {
factor: 1234,
display: 'My Other Unit',
decimals: 0
}
}
Map features may be styled using CSS SVG style attributes. Features generated from leaflet-measure measurements are given the following class names:
layer-measurecollector: Transparent layer covering full map and catching click and drag events
layer-measurearea: Feature displaying area of an active measurement
layer-measureboundary: Feature displaying the linear path of an active measurement
layer-measurevertex: Feature added at each vertex (measurement click) of an active measurement
layer-measuredrag: Symbol following cursor while moving during an active measurement
layer-measure-resultarea: Feature added to the map as a permanent layer resulting from an area (3+ points) measurement
layer-measure-resultline: Feature added to the map as a permanent layer resulting from a linear (2 point) measurement
layer-measure-resultpoint: Featured added to the map as a permanent layer resulting from a point (single click) measurement
