Install

Install the package and its peer dependencies via npm:

npm install leaflet
npm install leaflet-draw
npm install @asymmetrik/angular2-leaflet
npm install @asymmetrik/angular2-leaflet-draw

If you intend to use this library in a typescript project (utilizing the typings), you will need to also install the leaflet typings via npm:

npm install @types/leaflet
npm install @types/leaflet-draw

If you want to run the demo, clone the repository, perform an npm install, gulp dev and then go to http://localhost:9000/src/demo/index.html

Usage

To use this library, there are a handful of setup steps to go through that vary based on your app environment (e.g., Webpack, ngCli, SystemJS, etc.). Generally, the steps are:

• Install Leaflet, Angular2 Leaflet, this library, and potentially the Leaflet and Leaflet-draw typings (see above).
• Import the Leaflet and Leaflet-draw stylesheet
• Import the Leaflet and Leaflet-draw modules into your Angular project
• Create and configure a map (see docs below and/or demo)

For more details and examples, refer to the Angular 2 Leaflet plugin README.

Import the Stylesheets

For leaflet to work, you need to have the leaflet stylesheets loaded into your application. If you've installed via npm, you will need to load ./node_modules/leaflet/dist/leaflet.css abd ./node_modules/leaflet-draw/dist/leaflet.draw.css. How you include the stylesheet will depend on your specific setup.

Import Code Dependencies and Module

This project is exported using UMD and it includes typings. So, you shouldn't have to do anything special to use it if you're building your project in Typescript. Before you can use the module in your Angular 2+ app, you'll need to import it in your application. Note that you also need to import the angular2-leaflet module as well.

For example, in your app.module.ts, add:

import { LeafletModule } from '@asymmetrik/angular2-leaflet.module';
import { LeafletDrawModule } from '@asymmetrik/angular2-leaflet-draw.module';

...
imports: [
    ...
    LeafletModule.forRoot(),
    LeafletDrawModule.forRoot()
]
...

Create and Configure a Map with the Draw Controls

To create a map, use the leaflet attribute directive. This directive must appear first. You must specify an initial zoom/center and set of layers either via leafletOptions or by binding to leafletZoom, leafletCenter, and leafletLayers. Finally, add the leafletDraw attribute directive to add the leaflet draw control and configure it with leafletDrawOptions.

<div leaflet style="height: 400px;"
     leafletDraw
     [leafletOptions]="options"
     [leafletDrawOptions]="drawOptions">
</div>

leafletDraw

This attribute is an attribute directive that initiates the draw plugin.

leafletDrawOptions

Input binding for the options to be passed to the draw plugin upon creation. These options are only currently processed at creation time.

drawOptions = {
	position: 'topright',
	draw: {
		marker: {
			icon: L.icon({
				iconUrl: '2273e3d8ad9264b7daa5bdbf8e6b47f8.png',
				shadowUrl: '44a526eed258222515aa21eaffd14a96.png'
			})
		},
		polyline: false,
		circle: {
			shapeOptions: {
				color: '#aaaaaa'
			}
		}
	}
};

The options object is passed through to the Leaflet.draw object. Therefore, you can reference their documentation for help configuring the draw control.

If you do not provide a featureGroup for the Leaflet.draw plugin to use, the leafletDraw directive will create one internally and put it in the options object.

Showing and Hiding the Draw Control

If you want to toggle the draw control on and off, you can use the following approach:

<button (click)="shown = !shown">Show/Hide Control</button>
<div leaflet style="height: 400px;"
     [leafletOptions]="options">

	<div *ngIf="shown"
	     leafletDraw
	     [leafletDrawOptions]="drawOptions"></div>
</div>

You can place the leafletDraw directive on a child element and then use *ngIf to add/remove the draw control from the map. When ngIf evaluates to false, the child element is removed from the map, which destroys the control. When it evaluates to true, the child element is added to the map, which recreates the control.
