Leaflet.ControlLayerExtension

It is a simple extension on the L.control.layer controller which will allow the developer to switch between layers programatically when needed

This extention only has two funtions:

• Switch to layer by name (picklayer(layerName)
• Switch to layer by position (picklayerByPosition(number)

Example code:

// initialize it like you would the standard controls layer
var layerControl = L.controlLayerExt(baseLayers, overlays);
// OR
//var layerControl = new L.ControlLayerExt(baseLayers, overlays);
layerControl.addTo(map);

...
...

// to change to layer called 'myMap3'
layerControl.pickLayer('myMap3');
// the method is case sensitive, so the line bellow would do nothing
layerControl.pickLayer('mymap3'); // FAIL

// to jump to the the first layer
layerControl.picklayerByPosition(0);
