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

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.

The data included in the metadata
event will vary depending on type of layer you are adding to the map.
DymanicMapLayer
andTiledMapLayer
will return the JSON Definition of a Map ServiceFeatureLayer
andClusteredFeatureLayer
will return the JSON Definition of a Feature Layer

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.
var layer = new L.esri.FeatureLayer(url, options);
layer.on('load', function(e){
// do something on load
});
layer.addTo(map);
Option | Type | Default | Description |

'' |
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'} . |

5 | The pixel tolerance with which to buffer features for identifying. |

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