angular-esri-map
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.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/angular-esri-map@2"></script>
bower install angular-esri-map
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.

</esri-scene-view>
<script src="https://js.arcgis.com/4.3/"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.2/angular.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/angular-esri-map@2"></script>
<script>
angular.module('esri-map-example', ['esri.map'])
.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+ | Test coverage included for AngularJS v1.3. |
v1.1.0 | v1.3 - v1.5 | v3.15+ | |
v1.1.8 | v1.3+ | v3.15+ | 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+ | Test coverage included for AngularJS v1.3. |
v2.0.2 | v1.3+ | v4.0+ | 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. |

What about Angular 2?
While angular-esri-map focuses on providing well tested directives and patterns to help you use Esri maps with AngularJS v1.x, the ArcGIS API for JavaScript can also be used with Angular 2. In addition to the Angular 2 specific information discussed in the 2016 "What's New, What's Next" presentation provided above, there are several resources available to inspire you to try out Esri+Angular 2.
What about Ionic?
Ionic is a mobile-ready implementation of Angular that is built on top of Cordova/PhoneGap. The coding patterns shown above can also be used with Ionic.
- jwasilgeo/ionic-esri-map: An Ionic1 app showing how to integrate a map using the angular-esri-map v1 pattern.
- andygup/ionic2-esri-map: Example using ArcGIS API for JavaScript with Ionic2 using the angular2-esri-loader pattern with webpack.

Development Instructions
Make sure you have Node and Gulp installed.
- Fork and clone this repo
cd
into the angular-esri-map
folder- Install the dependencies with
npm install
- 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 - 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. http://localhost:9002/simple-map.html
). - Make a pull request to contribute your changes
