Esri Leaflet Renderers

Leaflet plugin for ArcGIS Feature Services. Esri Leaflet Renderers works in conjunction with the Esri Leaflet Plugin to draw feature services using renderers defined by the service.

The sole purpose of this plugin is to allow L.esri.FeatureLayer to automatically take on renderers defined in ArcGIS Feature Services. Esri Leaflet Renderers works in conjunction with Esri Leaflet, but it does not add any additional methods or properties to the class that it extends.

Example

Take a look at the live demo.

Development Instructions

Fork and clone Esri Leaflet Renderers
cd into the esri-leaflet-renderers folder
Install the dependencies with npm install
Run npm start from the command line. This will compile minified source in a brand new dist directory, launch a tiny web server and begin watching the raw source for changes.
Run npm test to make sure you haven't introduced a new 'feature' accidentally.
Make your changes and create a pull request

Limitations

As of 2.0.1, It is possible to override aspects of polyline and polygon symbology defined by the service in the FeatureLayer constructor. For points, it is not.
Simple Marker symbols do not support rotation (ie: the 'angle' property is ignored).
Polygons only support solid fill. This does not include advanced fill types like PictureFill, Backward Diagonal, DiagonalCross, etc.
Text symbols are not supported.
