Leaflet Map Control

Determine Asset Locations using Address Geocoding

Technologies > User Interface Add-Ins> Geographic Information System (GIS) Views > Map with Address Geocoder (Leaflet)

This example uses geocoding to determine building location based on its address information.

Geographic coordinates, or latitude and longitude, are needed to display asset locations on a map. If geographic coordinates are known, they may be entered directly into Web Central. If geographic coordinates are not known, they can be determined through geocoding using the asset’s street address.

Include the geocoder JavaScript class in the AXVW:

Create an instance of the Geocode Control, passing a reference to the map control:

this.geocodeControl = new Ab.leaflet.EsriGeocoder(this.mapControl);

Call geocode(), passing a restriction for the selected rows (see table of parameters below):

var restriction = this.getRestriction(rows);
this.geocodeControl.geocode(
'bl_ds',
restriction,
'bl',
'bl.bl_id',
['bl.lat', 'bl.lon'],
['bl.address1', 'bl.city_id', 'bl.state_id', 'bl.zip', ‘bl.ctry_id’],
true
);
