Example of leaflet map with zip codes written in angular

• Mapbox.js
  • Can create directive to manage list of locations associated with a map
  • When user hovers over list item, tooltip appears above location’s marker on the map
  • When user hovers atop location’s marker on the map, tooltip appears above that marker
• Leaflet.js
  • Can create directive to manage list of locations associated with a map
  • When user hovers over list item, tooltip appears above location’s marker on the map
  • When user hovers atop location’s marker on the map, tooltip appears above that marker
• Angular-Leaflet directive
  • Can create directive to manage list of locations associated with a map
  • When user hovers over list item, tooltip appears above location’s marker on the map
  • When user hovers atop location’s marker on the map, tooltip appears above that marker
• Backbone
  • Better suited for this than Angular since it doesn’t have to use the DOM
• OpenLayers
  • Can choose to use GoogleMaps as the map server in the beginning
  • Can transition to operating own map server if needed

• Get a geoJSON file of the country boundaries (with name as attribute data). Load that into leaflet on top of an OSM basemap (or whatever basemap you want).
  • Write code to select a country, highlight or change the style of that one feature and then add a Marker Point with a div Text to it’s centroid as a label pulling the attribute name from the country selected.
  • On selection of another country, remove the highlight and old marker label, re add the new feature to the highlight/label etc.
• Here is an ArcGIS layer with country outlines. Since this layer supports ‘dynamic layers’ your code can restyle the data. Use ESRI’s leaflet plugin to display this layer.
  • URL: https://gis.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/reference/world_countries_overlay/MapServer
• Could you implement a GeoServer instance? That way you could create a WMS, based on a simple shapefile with the data you want. At least you could have the simple basemap you need.
  • Regarding the interaction, the suggestion is to overlay an “invisible” WFS with the same data (the previous shapefile, but with an empty style, 100% transparency on the layer) and only when clicking on the country, dinamically change the style and open a popup with information.
• For the world borders, you can use GADM (URL: https://gadm.org/).

• Angular + Leaflet: perfect for fast rendering and browsing
  • Use --save-dev flag for type definitions to keep them in devDependencies
  • Set the maximal zoom level for the Leaflet map up to the 20th zoom level
  • Cite Geoapify, OpenStreetMap, and OpenMapTiles when using the tile layer
  • Use raster map tiles to build a map
• Angular + MapLibre GL (Mapbox GL): vector maps for your flexibility
  • Install MapLibre GL and required GeoJSON types
  • Add MapLibre GL styles to angular.json
  • Create a MapLibre Angular component
  • Use vector maps for MapLibre GL

• Leaflet Directive
  • There is a leaflet directive available, but it can have performance issues with a few markers over the top.
  • The directive keeps watches markers, which is great for real time updates, but can hinder performance.
  • It might be something in the implementation causing the performance issues.
• AzimutJS (based on AngularJS)
  • There is a Leaflet example available on the website.
  • The demos don’t seem to load.
  • It doesn’t do a good job of describing what the library does.
• Service
  • Making a service can give more flexibility to load the layer data as and when it’s needed.
  • Writing a directive that uses angularjs-leaflet-directive and encapsulates additional functionality may be helpful.

• @agm/core
  • Popular solution for integrating with Google Maps
  • Only option at the time
  • Fairly easy to use
  • Detailed documentation lacking
• @angular/google-maps
  • Supported by the Angular team and Google devs
  • Wraps the Google Maps API in a cleaner way
  • Features have been added since its release
  • Part of the official Angular components repo
  • Compatible with Angular 10.2.7 and up
• @agm/core abandoned in 2021
  • Last commit from May 2021
  • Issue about supporting Angular 14 un-answered

What Leaflet.js versions are compatible with Angular?

• Create a Leaflet map in an Angular-CLI based project
  • Install leaflet, @types/leaflet, and @asymmetrik/ngx-leaflet
  • Add Leaflet CSS to angular.json and control CSS to styles.css
  • Use global L variable structure and .extend methods to avoid TS issues
  • Use ng build --prod with “buildOptimizer”: false in angular.json
  • Import typedefs by name from 'leaflet' instead of using L
  • Create an OpenStreetMap map as a separate component with @Inputs()

• Using leaflet directly gives you more flexibility
  • According to a reddit user, using leaflet directly gives more flexibility than using ngx-leaflet
  • Another reddit user confirms that the regular leaflet is not that flexible
• Ngx-leaflet
  • According to a reddit user, using ngx-leaflet is an option for building leaflet maps with zip codes written in angular
