Leaflet FlyAlong

Leaflet FlyAlong is a plugin for Leaflet to move the view of the map with a smooth animation along a L.PolyLine object.

Methods

This plugin adds one method to L.Polyline objects:

• flyTo(latlng: L.LatLng, zoom?: number, options?: Zoom/pan options): sets the view of the map (geographical center and zoom) performing a smooth pan-zoom animation along this polyline.
  If the starting point for the animation is not on the polyline, there will be a first animation towards its closest point on the polyline.
  If the ending point for the animation is not on the polyline, there will be a last animation from its closest point on the polyline.
  Note: Zoom/pan options easeLinearity and noMoveStart are not supported.

Events

This plugin defines two events:

• FlyAlong:movestart: fired when the animation started
• FlyAlong:moveend: fired when the animation is finished

Warning: as this plugin relies on the L.Map.flyTo method, it triggers a lot of movestart and moveend events during the animation. If your application relies on these events, you should either disable your listeners or implement a way to ignore these events 😬. I'm open to suggestions to avoid this 👋!
