This article will give a quick demonstration to add Leaflet maps to an Angular paragraph in Zeppelin.

Background: Leaflet Maps

Leaflet is an open-source JavaScript library for interactive maps. Leaflet is designed with simplicity, performance and usability in mind.

Step 1: Adding a map to a Zeppelin notebook.

Code Source:

%angular 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.css" />
<div id="map" style="height: 800px; width: 100%"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initMap() {
    var map = L.map('map').setView([33.415, -111.831], 6);
    L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
        attribution: 'Map data © <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
        maxZoom: 15,
        minZoom: 3
    }).addTo(map);
    var geoMarkers = L.layerGroup().addTo(map);
   
}
if (window.L) {
    initMap();
} else {
    console.log('Loading Leaflet library');
    var sc = document.createElement('script');
    sc.type = 'text/javascript';
    sc.src='https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.js';
    sc.onload = initMap;
    sc.onerror = function(err) { alert(err); }
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(sc);
}
</script>

Step 2: Adding markers to the map manually.

Code Source:

%angular 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.css" />
<div id="map" style="height: 800px; width: 100%"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initMap() {
    var map = L.map('map').setView([33.415, -111.831], 12);
    L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
        attribution: 'Map data © <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
        maxZoom: 15,
        minZoom: 3
    }).addTo(map);
    var geoMarkers = L.layerGroup().addTo(map);
    var lat = 31.603513;
    var long = -94.655487;
    var lat1 = 38.381572;
    var long1 = -121.49440;
    var LJIcon = L.icon({
    iconUrl: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/SFA_Athletics_logo.png',
    iconSize: [38, 38],
    });
    var goldIcon = L.icon({
    iconUrl: 'http://www.pngmart.com/files/3/Lakshmi-Gold-Coin-PNG-Transparent-Image.png',
    iconSize: [20, 20],
    });
   var marker = L.marker([ lat, long ],{icon: LJIcon} ).bindPopup("Nacogdoches, Tx" +" : " + "21ABC").addTo(map);
    var marker1 = L.marker([ lat1, long1 ],{icon: goldIcon} ).bindPopup("Sacramento, Ca" +" : " + "34DGC").addTo(geoMarkers)
}
if (window.L) {
    initMap();
} else {
    console.log('Loading Leaflet library');
    var sc = document.createElement('script');
    sc.type = 'text/javascript';
    sc.src='https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.js';
    sc.onload = initMap;
    sc.onerror = function(err) { alert(err); }
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(sc);
}
</script>

Step 3: Adding map markers from a GeoJSON file.

Code Source:

%angular 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.css" />
<div id="map" style="height: 800px; width: 100%"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initMap() {
    var map = L.map('map').setView([33.415, -111.831], 8);
    L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
        attribution: 'Map data © <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
        maxZoom: 15,
        minZoom: 3
    }).addTo(map);
    var geoMarkers = L.layerGroup().addTo(map);
    
      $.getJSON("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BrooksIan/DS_GTDB/master/json/Mesa.geojson",function(data){
          L.geoJson(data).addTo(map);
      });
}
if (window.L) {
    initMap();
} else {
    console.log('Loading Leaflet library');
    var sc = document.createElement('script');
    sc.type = 'text/javascript';
    sc.src='https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.js';
    sc.onload = initMap;
    sc.onerror = function(err) { alert(err); }
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(sc);
}
</script>

Master Guru

have you connected to data from SQL?

I haven't tried that yet. I have got markers from an existing file working at this point in time.

This is soooo cool!

I've found that in Zeppelin 0.7.0 the geoJSON needs to be obtained without credentials, otherwise an access control error results : "The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'" which is I guess new behaviour in Zeppelin.

As there doesn't seem to be a way to configure $.getJSON to do this, load it as follows :

$.ajax({ 
  url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BrooksIan/DS_GTDB/master/json/Mesa.geojson",
  dataType: "json",
  xhrFields: { withCredentials: false }
})
.done( function( data ) {
  L.geoJson( data ).addTo( map );
});

Hope this helps, Simon

I've also found that a Zeppelin style hides any geoJSON boundary type overlays. The offending rule seems to be the following, removing this in chrome dev tools makes the overlay appear. YMMV...

..\zeppelin-web\src\app\notebook\paragraph\paragraph.css

.paragraph div svg {
    width: 100%;
}
