location of a dragged and dropped marker using leaflet

Question

i am using leaflet API with OSM. I need to implement a functionality where on dragging the marker and dropping it on user preferred location , i need to get its latitude and longitude and save its location to databasee...

For now on double clicking the marker i am able to drag the marker. Below line helped me:

draggable:true

Now when i release the marker i want to find the lat and longitude of the location.. or invoking a function on dragging the marker, returning the lat,lng values...... please help me to achieve this.... Thank You

Any draggable object will fire dragstart, dragend and other drag-related events.

Simply listen to the dragend events of the marker you marked as draggable, and subscribe a handler that gets the latlng value from the sent event:

marker.on('dragend', function(event) {
    var marker = event.target;  // you could also simply access the marker through the closure
    var result = marker.getLatLng();  // but using the passed event is cleaner
    console.log(result);
});
