I am working on a webmap which will allow users to click on a portion of the globe and download associated river data. Here is my code so far.

        <script src="leaflet.spin.js"></script>

    </head>
    <body>

    <div id="mapid"></div>
      <script>

        var map = L.map('mapid').setView([0.478320099108, -79.381377894799996], 14);
            L.tileLayer('https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/{id}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token={accessToken}', {

                    maxZoom: 18,
                    id: 'mapbox.streets',
                    accessToken: 'pk.eyJ1IjoiamltbXlzd2lzaGVyIiwiYSI6ImNqc29vYW02ejAxYjI0YW94NnBlcDhpYWEifQ.6DiOztwTzMJu3eBEyHHfrw'
            }).addTo(map);

        function popUp(f,l){
            var out = [];
            if (f.properties){
                for(key in f.properties){
                    out.push(key+": "+f.properties[key]);
                }
                l.bindPopup(out.join("<br />"));
            }
        }
        var jsonTest = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX(["tiles.geojson"],{onEachFeature:popUp}).addTo(map);
    </script>
    </body>
</html>

This code outputs a grid system over the basemap as illustrated below, each grid is its own feature with an identifying attribute. How would I allow the user to click on a tile of their choosing and download a shapefile whose name matches the identifying attribute of the tile. All shapefiles will exist in a folder on my machine, eventually the shapefiles will be pushed to a server to allow functionality to non local users.

  • what format does your download link take? you'll need to generate it in the popup code

  • On click it will download a shapefile. Apr 18, 2019 at 8:29
  • always the same shapefile? or is it based on the properties of the square?

  • Each tile has a different associated shapefile Apr 18, 2019 at 8:48
  • @IanTurton can you please help me rephrase or tell me what details to add in order to make my question more clear Apr 18, 2019 at 15:11
