This example is inspired by the Angular 2 Leaflet starter at https://github.com/haoliangyu/angular2-leaflet-starter . That project was correctly described as a 'soup'. I wanted to take an Angular 2 and Leaflet starter in a different direction, so this example was created as a completely separate project. Goals for this demo include:

- Use the Angular2 CLI as the build tool
- Create a complete micro-application as the demonstration environment
- Adhere to concepts from Flux and Redux w/o 3rd party software
- Classes adhere to principles such as single responsibility
- Provide progress and error indication for services
- Illustrate production-quality features such as preventing side effects from repeatedly clicking the same button
- Provide an example of working with the component change detector
- Use the Typescript Math Toolkit Location class for location data
- Only minimal understanding of Leaflet is required

Angular: 2.3.1

Angular CLI: 1.0.0-beta.25.5

Installation involves all the usual suspects

• npm and Angular CLI installed globally
• Clone the repository
• npm install
• get coffee (this is the most important step)

1.0.0

After installation, ng-build and ng-serve are your friends. Build production or dev. as you see fit. localhost:4200 to run the demo, at which point you should see

The application provides two means for moving the map. You may use the current IP address or enter a physical address. Examples of the latter include complete street, city, state, zip or simply 'Austin, TX'. Notification of a request in progress is provided after clicking on the 'current location' button or entering an address followed by pressing 'Enter' or clicking the arrow button. Another notification is provided after the request is complete and the map is panned to the requested location. Errors are indicated as shown below.

The demo has been tested in late-model Chrome on a Mac.

When it comes to deconstructing the code, don't worry if you have little experience with Leaflet. If you have made it through the 'Getting Started' guide, then you know enough about Leaflet to work with and expand upon this demo.

To get more help on the angular-cli use ng help or go check out the Angular-CLI README.
