Leaflet marker by click

Is it possible in leafletjs to create a marker by clicking on a map, I already tried a lot of different things but nothing worked. I mean like create a click event in which a marker gets created.

This is my code, in this example i tried to make a function that creates a marker at a certain position if you click anywhere but my goal is it to create a marker at the position where you click. Im really new to this language and leaflet, so sorry if this code is stupid.

            function onMapClick(e) {
                var marker = L.marker([50.5, 30.5]).addTo(map);
            }
            mymap.on('click', onMapClick);

Solution

  • Use the latlng from the event. Also use mymap in addTo:

    function onMapClick(e) {
    var marker = L.marker(e.latlng).addTo(mymap);
}
mymap.on('click', onMapClick);
