[Leaflet](https://leafletjs.com/) is one of the main Javascript-based mapping frameworks. It is widely used across the Industry to add interactive maps to web sites and applications.

Leaflet can be used in Angular.io apps. For some of the details and complexities see:

The ngx-leaflet package includes the zoom, attribution and layers controls.

However, any real interactive map is going to need more controls than that. This is where this project comes in.

The intent of this project is:

1. [To list the known "Angularised" Leaflet controls, including the ones generated as part of this project](/alcm/angular-leaflet-controls.md), and
2. [To be opinionated about how to create Angularised controls in a reasonable, idiomatic way.](/alcm/the-basics-of-leaflet-controls-in-angular.io.md)

Please feel free to leave components about new or unlisted controls or mistakes or proposed changes to the document.
