Customize Zoom in/out button in leaflet.js

Question

I am trying to customize zoom control (+/-), so it should appear in the right side like Google maps (https://www.google.com/maps/)

I tried to add float:right; but it didn't work.

From the CSS file :

/* zoom control */

.leaflet-control-zoom-in,
.leaflet-control-zoom-out {
  font: bold 18px 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace;
  text-indent: 1px;
  }
.leaflet-control-zoom-out {
  font-size: 20px;
  }

.leaflet-touch .leaflet-control-zoom-in {
  font-size: 22px;
  }
.leaflet-touch .leaflet-control-zoom-out {
  font-size: 24px;
  }

Answer 1

Your zoom in/out controls are wrapped with absolutely positioned element with left:0 (due to .leaflet-left class), so float:left wouldn't help, you could align it to right by overriding left:0 by right:0, or changing .leaflet-left class to .leaflet-right

But more correct way would be to use provided api.

//disable zoomControl when initializing map (which is topleft by default)
var map = L.map("map", {
    zoomControl: false
    //... other options
});

//add zoom control with your options
L.control.zoom({
     position:'topright'
}).addTo(map);
