Esri Leaflet

Leaflet plugin for ArcGIS Services. Currently Esri Leaflet supports loading Esri basemaps and feature services, as well as tiled and dynamic map services.

The goal of Esri Leaflet is not to replace the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, but rather to provide small components to allow developers to build mapping applications with Leaflet. It pairs well with Terraformer for converting data and geoservices-js for making advanced request to ArcGIS REST services, for example place finding and reverse geocoding.

Currently Esri Leaflet is in development and should be thought of as a beta or preview.

Demos

There are loads of demos showing the features of Esri Leaflet, as well as how it might integrate with geoservices-js and Terraformer libraries. Check out the demos.

Example

Here is a quick example to get you started. Just change the paths to point to the proper libraries and go.

Esri Leaflet can work with tiled map services as well. You can use L.esri.TiledMapLayer(url, options) to use tiled map services. The url parameter is the url to the MapServer and options are identical to the options you can pass to L.TileLayer.

Your map service must be published using the Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere tiling scheme (WKID 102100/3857) used by Google Maps, Bing Maps and ArcGIS Online. Esri Leaflet will not support any other spatial reference for tile layers.

  opacity: 0.25,
  zIndex:2
}).addTo(map);

ClusteredFeatureLayer

Extends L.Class

L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer provides integration for Feature Layers with the Leaflet.markercluster plugin. Because of the extra Dependency on Leaflet.markercluster we do not include L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer in the default build of Esri Leaflet. It lives in /dist/extras/clustered-feature-layer.js. You will also need to include your own copy of the Leaflet.markercluster plugin.

Constructor

Example

L.esri.clusteredFeatureLayer("http://services.arcgis.com/rOo16HdIMeOBI4Mb/arcgis/rest/services/stops/FeatureServer/0", {
  cluster: new L.MarkerClusterGroup({
    disableClusteringAtZoom: 16,
    polygonOptions: {
      color: "#2d84c8"
    },
    iconCreateFunction: function(cluster) {
      var count = cluster.getChildCount();
      var digits = (count+"").length;
      return new L.DivIcon({
        html: count,
        iconSize: null
      });
    }

Event Objects

Metadata Event

The data included in the metadata event will vary depending on type of layer you are adding to the map.

DynamicMapLayer and TiledMapLayer will return the JSON Definition of a Map Service
FeatureLayer and ClusteredFeatureLayer will return the JSON Definition of a Feature Layer

Loading Event

Data	Value	Description
`bounds`	`LatLngBounds`	The bounds that features are currently being loaded.

Load Event

Data	Value	Description
`bounds`	`LatLngBounds`	The bounds that features where loaded.

NOTE: The load event will not fire if you add the layer to the map before adding the event listener. You must add the listener first and then add the layer to the map as follows.

var layer = new L.esri.FeatureLayer(url, options);

layer.on('load', function(e){
  // do something on load
});

layer.addTo(map);

Authentication Event

Data	Value	Description
`retry`	`Function`	Pass an access token to this method to retry the failed request and update the `token` parameter for the layer. See working with authenticated services for more information.

Options Objects

Identify Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`layers`	`String` or `Array`	`''`	An array of Layer IDs like `[3,4,5]` to show from the service or a string in the format like `[show
`layerDefs`	`String` `Object`	`''`	A string representing a query to run against the service before the identify query is run. This can be a string like `"STATE_NAME='Kansas' and POP2007>25000"` or an object mapping different queries to specific layers `{5:"STATE_NAME='Kansas'", 4:"STATE_NAME='Kansas'}`.
`tolerance`	`Integer`	5	The pixel tolerance with which to buffer features for identifying.
`imageDisplay`	`String`	`{{mapWidth}},{{mapHeight}},96`

Service URLs

Coming Soon!

Working With Authenticated Services

Esri Leaflet supports access private services on ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Server services that require authentication.

Handing authentication in Esri Leaflet is flexible and lightweight but makes serveral assumptions.

You (the developer) will handler obtaining and persisting access tokens.
Esri Leaflet will use your tokens so access services.
Esri Leaflet will notify you when it recives an error while using your token and prompt you for a new one.

An example of authenticating with a username/password to an ArcGIS Service instance can be found here.

An example of using Oauth 2 to access a private feature service on ArcGIS Online can be found here.

Development Instructions

Fork and clone Esri Leaflet
cd into the esri-leaflet folder
Run git submodule init and git submodule update
Instal the dependancies with npm install
The examples in the /examples folder should work
Make your changes and create a pull request

Dependencies

Leaflet - the core Leaflet library
Leaflet.markercluster - If you want to use L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer you will need the Leaflet markercluster plugin
Terraformer - base library for other dependencies
Terraformer ArcGIS - for converting geometries
Terraformer RTree - client side RTree index for optimizations

These are currently included in /vendor as submodules and are built into the dist/esri-leaflet.js file.
