The angular-esri-map repository is now retired and is now archived (November 2020). It started in Long Term Maintenance mode on July 1, 2018.

Do you have a question related to JavaScript that isn’t specific to Angular? Post these questions in the GeoNET forum for the ArcGIS API for JavaScript.

Please take a look at these modern alternatives:

  • Esri-loader - A tiny library to help load ArcGIS API for JavaScript modules in non-Dojo applications.
  • Arcgis-webpack-plugin – A webpack wrapper for the ArcGIS API for JavaScript.
  • Angular-cli-esri-map – A repo that demos using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript in Angular 9+ applications.

A collection of directives to help you use Esri maps and services in your AngularJS v1.x applications.

These directives can be used as-is if your mapping needs are simple, or as reference examples of the patterns that you can use to write your own directives that use the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Read more…

Getting Started

Here are examples and guides showing how you can use this module to bring Esri maps into your own AngularJS v1.x applications.

Quick Start

To use these directives in your own AngularJS v1.x application, first install the module as a dependency using any of the following methods.

<!-- load angular-esri-map from CDN -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/angular-esri-map@2"></script>

# OR install via bower
bower install angular-esri-map

# OR install via npm
npm install angular-esri-map

Alternatively, you can clone or download this repo and copy the desired module file (angular-esri-map.js or angular-esri-map.min.js) into your application.

Once you’ve added the module to your application, you can refer the sample code below to use the <esri-scene-view> directive. If you have downloaded or installed locally, point to the location of the module file in your environment (instead of CDN) and load the page in a browser.

                .controller('MapController', function(esriLoader) {
                    var self = this;
                    esriLoader.require(['esri/Map'], function(Map) {
                        self.map = new Map({
                            basemap: 'streets'
                        });
                    });
                });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

See the documentation for examples and guides of how to use the other directives and services.

Lazy Loading of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript

If your application only shows a map under certain conditions you may want to lazy load the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. You can do this by calling the esriLoader.bootstrap() method. See the Lazy Load Patterns page for an example of how to do this.

Dependencies

At version 1.x, these directives and services require, at a minimum, AngularJS v1.3.0 and the ArcGIS API for JavaScript v3.12 (though most will work and are tested on v3.11).

For version 2.x, the ArcGIS API for JavaScript v4.0 is required.

See the compatibility table below for details.

angular-esri-map AngularJS ArcGIS API for JavaScript Notes
v1.0.0 v1.3 - v1.5 v3.12 - 3.21 Test coverage included for AngularJS v1.3.
v1.1.0 v1.3 - v1.5 v3.15 - 3.21
v1.1.8 v1.3+ v3.12 - 3.21 Due to a breaking change in controllers at AngularJS v1.6, e2e test coverage has been performed with v1.3, but will only continue with v1.6. See CHANGELOG.
v2.0.0 v1.3 - v1.5 v4.0 - v4.6 Test coverage included for AngularJS v1.3.
v2.0.2 v1.3+ v4.0 - v4.6 Due to a breaking change in controllers at AngularJS v1.6, e2e test coverage has been performed with v1.3, but will only continue with v1.6. See CHANGELOG.
v2.0.5 v1.3+ v4.6 - v4.8 Uses .when() instead of .then()

Development Instructions

Make sure you have Node and Gulp installed.

  1. Fork and clone this repo
  2. cd into the angular-esri-map folder
  3. Install the dependencies with npm install
  4. run gulp from the command line. This will run the linting and build commands and then start a local web server hosting the application under the docs folder
  5. Modify the source files (under src) and test pages (under test). Test pages are served along with the docs site when you run the gulp task and are accessible from the root (i.e. https://localhost:9002/simple-map.html).
  6. Make a pull request to contribute your changes
