I am not familiar with Node.js or npm at all, but my IT has told me node.js/npm is not compatible with our IIS, and the only search plugins to add on to leaflet are using npm to install them.

I did a search here and found this solution without npm - leaflet-control-geocoder, but it searches address databases such as google or bing, not the geojson data I have plugged into my map that I need to be able to search.

So my question is, is there a way to use the Leaflet Search plugin or leaflet-fusesearch plugin without using npm to install it?

  • Small update - I checked with my own personal hosting company I use, thinking I could just move the project there, however they strictly forbid installing Node.js on a shared server.

    node.js and npm work just fine on Windows Server; npm will need proxy permissions, though, and node.js the iis-node extension to work with the web services. Leaflet Search is available as .js files in the github dist.

  • most plugins have a download button and don't require npm, npm just makes it easier.

  • Ahhh so you are saying I can just use the .js file just like I do other javascript files without any install process. - Since I am new to javascript just one more question then. If I use the files straight from git hub do I need all the other files that come with it or just the js files?

  • @eric47905 You might need the CSS, and Image files as well.

I'm assuming that you want to use the leaflet-search plugin, without using NPM. This is possible, using these steps:

  1. Go to https://github.com/stefanocudini/leaflet-search
  2. Click on the Clone or download button, and download as Zip
  3. Unzip the downloaded file.
  4. Copy the dist & the images folder to your application.
  5. In your Application's HTML file, add links to the CSS and JS file which are present in the dist folder (i.e. leaflet-search.min.css & leaflet-search.min.js).
  6. You should now be able to access the L.Control.Search object in your JavaScript code.
