AngularJS is rapidly gaining popularity and favor in the front-end web development community. Several open-source AngularJS wrappers exist for open and closed source web mapping libraries. This session will survey the landscape of existing mapping library wrappers. Wrappers for OpenLayers, Leaflet, d3, Google Maps, and Esri WebMaps will be examined. Comparisons of the different abilities of these wrappers and the techniques required when using them will be examined. Advantages, strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and "gotchas" will all be examined for the AngularJS interfaces of the different mapping libraries. Attendees should leave the session with an understanding how to best integrate their mapping library of choice within an AngularJS application and how they could help improve these various wrappers.
