README.md:
- Import options: drop CJS/UMD/minified-bundle mentions, none exist since
the build simplified to ESM-only.
- New Events + TypeScript sections documenting the leaflet:<type> event
forwarding mechanism and the HTMLElementTagNameMap / per-component
addEventListener typing added this session.
- leaflet-tile-layer: 6 -> 23 attributes (full tileLayerProps), fixed
z-index default (0 -> 1).
- leaflet-tile-layer-wms: now documents that it inherits all tile-layer
attributes (previously listed none, matching the bug fixed earlier) +
the new crs attribute.
- leaflet-video-overlay: added the 4 attributes added this session.
- leaflet-polyline: fixed a wrong "excludes fill*" claim and added
smooth-factor/no-clip.
- leaflet-geojson: was documenting a stale hand-picked subset of path
attributes (with stroke mis-described as a color); now says all
path-style attributes apply, matching the dedup against pathProps.
- Path style table: added stroke/interactive/bubbling-mouse-events/
class-name/pane, fixed fill's default.
- Added leaflet-icon/leaflet-div-icon sections (existed but were
undocumented).
- Nesting rules and Development section brought in line with reality.
CLAUDE.md: the WithProps mixin description referenced an API from before
this session that no longer exists (WithProps(Base, PROPS), definePropAccessors,
initOptions(), updateLeafletObject()) and claimed LeafletMap extends
HTMLElement directly when it extends WithProps(...) like everything else.
Rewrote to match the real internals, fixed the child-component-pattern
steps, and documented how to type a new component's events.
Also added '*.md' to the format script's glob -- root markdown files
weren't covered, so this formatting could have silently drifted again.

### `WithProps` mixin: `src/core/with-props.ts`
### `WithProps` mixin: `src/core/with-props.ts`
The `WithProps(Base, PROPS)` mixin factory replaces the old `LeafletElement` base class. Each component defines a `PROPS` table (a const record mapping kebab-case attribute names to `PropDef` descriptors), then extends `WithProps(HTMLElement, PROPS)`. The mixin handles:
`WithProps(PROPS, options?)` is a mixin factory: it always extends `HTMLElement` internally (there's no separate base-class parameter) and returns a constructor. Each component defines a `PROPS` table (a const record mapping property names to `PropDef` descriptors from `src/core/props.ts` — kebab-cased automatically for the attribute name) and extends `WithProps(PROPS)`. The mixin handles:
- `observedAttributes` getter derived from the PROPS table keys.
- `static observedAttributes`, derived from the PROPS table keys.
- `definePropAccessors` — property getters/setters on the prototype that sync attributes.
- Property getters/setters on the prototype (one `Object.defineProperty` per prop) that read the live Leaflet value when the prop defines a `get`, falling back to the attribute, then the default; setting encodes the value onto the attribute.
- On connect, `initOptions()` builds a Leaflet options object from current attributes + PROPS defaults, then calls `createLeafletObject()`.
- On connect, the private `#buildOptions()` builds a Leaflet options object from current attributes + PROPS defaults (skipping any prop marked `positional()`), then `createLeafletObject()` is called with it.
- On attribute change, `updateLeafletObject()` by default dispatches to the matching Leaflet setter (e.g. `setOpacity`, `setRadius`). Components override this for custom attribute handling (e.g. lat/lng pairs).
- On attribute change, `attributeChangedCallback` dispatches to a prop's own `set` function if it has one, otherwise the matching Leaflet setter (e.g. `setOpacity`, `setRadius`) if the object has one — otherwise it's a silent no-op (many options are constructor-only). `options.recreate` switches this to rebuilding the whole object instead (for objects Leaflet gives no in-place mutation, like icons).
- Every Leaflet event the created object fires is re-emitted on the element as `leaflet:<type>` (e.g. `leaflet:zoomend`, `leaflet:dragend`), carrying the original Leaflet event object as `event.detail`. This is generic and automatic: `WithProps` wraps the object's own `fire()` method, so no per-component or per-event-type registration is needed. Not bubbling — Leaflet already propagates layer events up to the map, so `<leaflet-map>` would otherwise see each one twice.
- Every Leaflet event the created object fires is re-emitted on the element as `leaflet:<type>` (e.g. `leaflet:zoomend`, `leaflet:dragend`), with `detail` matching exactly what a real Leaflet `.on()` listener would receive (`type`/`target`/`sourceTarget` plus the event's own fields). This is generic and automatic: the private `#forwardEvents()` wraps the object's own `fire()` method, so no per-component or per-event-type registration is needed. Not bubbling — Leaflet already propagates layer events up to the map, so `<leaflet-map>` would otherwise see each one twice.
- `options.attach` controls how the element joins the component tree: `'children'` (default) registers with its parent and adopts registering descendants as layers/popups/tooltips; `'self'` (popups, tooltips, controls) registers with its parent but manages no children; `'none'` (the map, icons) does neither.
TypeScript typing for the above is opt-in per component, not part of `WithProps` itself — see "Typing a component's events" below.
`LeafletMap` extends `HTMLElement` directly and uses Shadow DOM. It is the root of the component tree and terminates all bubbling `leaflet-register` events by calling `layer.addTo(this.map)`. Uses a `ResizeObserver` on the host element to call `map.invalidateSize()` automatically.
`LeafletMap` extends `WithProps(PROPS, { attach: 'none' })` like everything else, but builds its own Shadow DOM root in `connectedCallback` instead of relying on `createLeafletObject` alone, and terminates all bubbling `leaflet-register` events by calling `layer.addTo(this.map)` since it's the root of the component tree. Uses a `ResizeObserver` on the host element to call `map.invalidateSize()` automatically.
### Child component pattern

All non-map components extend `WithProps(HTMLElement, PROPS)`. To add a new component:
All non-map components extend `WithProps(PROPS, options?)`. To add a new component:
1. Define a `PROPS = {...}` const table mapping kebab-case attributes to `PropDef` entries.
1. Define a `PROPS = {...}` const table mapping property names to `PropDef` entries (reuse fragments from `src/core/shared-props.ts` where they fit — `pathProps`, `latLngProps`, `tileLayerProps`, `urlProp`).
2. Declare `class LeafletFoo extends WithProps(PROPS)` implementing `createLeafletObject(options): L.Layer`, and `declare readonly leafletObject?: TheLeafletClass;` (the mixin's own inference of the object type from the PROPS table alone isn't reliable enough to skip this).
3. Override `updateLeafletObject(name, val)` only if the default setter-based update won't work (common for coordinate pairs).
3. Provide a `set` function on individual `PropDef`s only where the default setter-based dispatch won't work (common for coordinate pairs — see `latLngProps` in shared-props.ts).
4. Call `customElements.define('leaflet-foo', LeafletFoo)` at the bottom.
4. Call `customElements.define('leaflet-foo', LeafletFoo)` at the bottom.
5. Export from `src/index.ts`.
5. Export from `src/index.ts`, and add the tag to the `HTMLElementTagNameMap` augmentation at the bottom of that file (needs its own `import type` — a re-export doesn't bind the name locally).
6. If the component fires meaningful Leaflet events (beyond nothing), compose or reuse an event map in `src/core/event-types.ts` and add `declare addEventListener: LeafletAddEventListener<TheEvents>;` / `declare removeEventListener: LeafletRemoveEventListener<TheEvents>;` (see "Typing a component's events" below).

Children register themselves into them via the standard bubble mechanism.
### Typing a component's events: `src/core/event-types.ts`
Two separate TypeScript augmentations make the components usable from TS, neither of which costs anything at runtime:
- **`HTMLElementTagNameMap`** (bottom of `src/index.ts`) maps every `leaflet-*` tag to its class, so `document.createElement`/`querySelector` infer the right type. Since `export { X } from '...'` re-exports don't bind `X` locally, the tag map needs its own `import type` of each class alongside the re-export.
- **Per-component `addEventListener`/`removeEventListener`** typing for `leaflet:<name>` events. `event-types.ts` defines small reusable event-name → Leaflet-payload-type fragments (`MouseEvents`, `PopupBindEvents`, `DragEvents`, etc. — mirroring how `shared-props.ts` shares prop fragments), composed per family (`PathEvents`, `MarkerEvents`, `MapEvents`, `TileLayerEvents`, `DivOverlayLayerEvents`, `GroupEvents`). A component applies its family with `declare addEventListener: LeafletAddEventListener<TheEvents>;` (and the `Remove` counterpart), the same `declare`-to-narrow-without-runtime-code idiom as `declare readonly leafletObject?: X`. Components that don't fire meaningful custom events (controls, icons, `leaflet-line`) skip this and keep the default `HTMLElementEventMap` typing.
`LeafletAddEventListener`/`LeafletRemoveEventListener` (in `with-props.ts`) deliberately have no generic `(type: string, ...)` fallback overload, unlike the real DOM API — a fallback would silently accept any unrecognized `leaflet:*` name too, which defeats the point of typing this at all. The cost is that a genuinely dynamic (non-literal) event name string needs a cast.
If you add or change what events a component fires, keep `#forwardEvents`'s `detail` shape (`with-props.ts`) in mind: it mirrors Leaflet's own `Evented#fire` merge (original data plus `type`/`target`/`sourceTarget`) so the event-types.ts payload types stay honest — don't type an event's `detail` against a Leaflet interface it wouldn't actually match at runtime.
### Output
### Output
`tsc` compiles `src/` → `dist/` as individual ESM modules (`.js` + `.d.ts` + `.d.ts.map`) — no bundling step. Consumers import `dist/index.js` (or any individual module) directly; there is no CJS or UMD build. Leaflet is always external (never bundled). Imports within source use `.ts` extensions; `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions` in tsconfig strips them to `.js` in the tsc output (`tsconfig.json:16`).

The package ships multiple bundle formats and supports deep imports for tree-shaking.
The package is ESM-only — `tsc` emits `dist/` as individual modules, one per component, with no bundling step. Deep imports work for registering only what you use.

## Events
Every event the underlying Leaflet object fires is re-emitted on the element as a `leaflet:<type>` DOM event — `zoomend` becomes `leaflet:zoomend`, `popupopen` becomes `leaflet:popupopen`, and so on. This is generic and automatic for every component; nothing needs to be configured per event.
`event.detail` is the same object a native Leaflet `.on()` listener receives — it always carries `type`, `target`, and `sourceTarget` in addition to whatever fields that particular event adds (`latlng` for mouse events, `popup` for `popupopen`/`popupclose`, `distance` for `dragend`, etc.). These events don't bubble: Leaflet already propagates layer events up to the map internally, so a bubbling DOM event would make `<leaflet-map>` see each one twice.
Which events a component can fire depends on the Leaflet class it wraps — see [Leaflet's own event reference](https://leafletjs.com/reference.html) for the full list per class (Map, Layer, Marker, Path, Popup, TileLayer, etc.).
## TypeScript
`leaflet-*` elements are typed. `document.createElement`/`querySelector` infer the right component class for every tag:
`addEventListener` is typed per component against the real Leaflet event payload for events that component actually fires — ordinary DOM events (`click`, etc.) still work normally, and an event name the component doesn't fire is a compile error:
There's no generic fallback overload for `leaflet:*` names — that's deliberate, so a typo or a wrong event name doesn't silently type-check. A genuinely dynamic (non-literal) event name string needs a cast.
| `keep-buffer` | `2` | Extra rows/columns of tiles to keep loaded outside the viewport |
| `update-when-idle` | — | Update tiles only when the map stops moving |
| `update-when-zooming` | `true` (toggle with `update-when-zooming="false"`) | Update tiles continuously while zooming |
| `update-interval` | `200` | Throttle between tile updates while panning (ms) |
| `pane` | `'tilePane'` | Map pane name |
Most of these apply only at construction — Leaflet exposes no setter for them, so changing the attribute afterward has no effect. `min-zoom`, `max-zoom`, `opacity`, and `z-index` are live.

All `<leaflet-tile-layer>` attributes above apply (a WMS layer is a tile layer), plus:
A `<leaflet-icon>` or `<leaflet-div-icon>` child sets the marker's icon (see below); without one, Leaflet's default icon is used.
### `<leaflet-icon>`
Sets the marker icon to an image. Not rendered itself — swapped into a parent `<leaflet-marker>` via `setIcon()` whenever an attribute changes. Produces no icon (Leaflet's default is used instead) until `icon-url` is set.
| `shadow-anchor` | — | Shadow anchor point, as JSON: `[x, y]` |
| `class-name` | `''` | CSS class for the icon image |
### `<leaflet-div-icon>`
Sets the marker icon to an HTML element instead of an image. Content comes from `innerHTML` (or the `html` attribute if no markup is given) — either way it's rebuilt on every change, the same as `<leaflet-icon>`.
| `icon-anchor` | — | Point of the icon aligned to the marker's location, as JSON: `[x, y]` |
| `popup-anchor` | — | Popup anchor point relative to `icon-anchor`, as JSON: `[x, y]` |
| `tooltip-anchor` | — | Tooltip anchor point relative to `icon-anchor`, as JSON: `[x, y]` |
| `class-name` | `'leaflet-div-icon'` | CSS class for the icon element |
