# Angular AWS Map

Application example built with [Angular](https://angular.io/) 14 and adding the map [MapLibre](https://maplibre.org/) component using the [Amazon Amplify Geo](https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/geo/getting-started/q/platform/js/) and [Amazon Location Service](https://aws.amazon.com/location/) services.

This tutorial was posted on my [blog](https://rodrigo.kamada.com.br/blog/adicionando-o-componente-de-mapa-usando-os-servicos-da-amazon-em-uma-aplicacao-angular) in portuguese and on the [DEV Community](https://dev.to/rodrigokamada/adding-the-map-component-using-the-aws-services-to-an-angular-application-3a4a) in english.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to install and configure the tools:

* [git](https://git-scm.com/)
* [Node.js and npm](https://nodejs.org/)
* [Angular CLI](https://angular.io/cli)
* IDE (e.g. [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) or [WebStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/))

## Getting started

### Create and configure the account on the Amazon Location Service

[Amazon Location Service](https://aws.amazon.com/location/) provides location functionality to applications without compromising data security and user privacy.

**1.** Let's create and configure the account. Access the site [https://aws.amazon.com/location/](https://aws.amazon.com/location/) and click on the button *Get Started with Amazon Location Service*.

"mobileanalytics:PutEvents",
"cognito-sync:*",
"geo:GetMap*"
],

**13.** Copy the authentication pool ID displayed and, in my case, the value `us-east-1:57a33aaf-0026-44e3-908c-7fb9d5730b9f` was displayed because this value will be configured in the Angular application.

![Amazon Location Service - Getting started](https://res.cloudinary.com/rodrigokamada/image/upload/v1651139838/Blog/angular-aws-map/angular-aws-map-step13.png)

**14.** Ready! Map and authentication pool created.

### Create the Angular application

[Angular](https://angular.io/) is a development platform for building WEB, mobile and desktop applications using HTML, CSS and TypeScript (JavaScript). Currently, Angular is at version 13 and Google is the main maintainer of the project.

**1.** Let's create the application with the Angular base structure using the `@angular/cli` with the route file and the SCSS style format.

```powershell
ng new angular-aws-map --routing true --style scss

Successfully initialized git.
```

**2.** Install and configure the Bootstrap CSS framework. Do steps 2 and 3 of the post *[Adding the Bootstrap CSS framework to an Angular application](https://github.com/rodrigokamada/angular-bootstrap)*.

**3.** Configure the variable `amplify.Auth.identityPoolId` with the authentication pool ID, the variables `amplify.Auth.region` and `amplify.geo.AmazonLocationService.region` with the region and the variables `amplify.geo.AmazonLocationService.maps.items[MAP_NAME]` and `amplify.geo.AmazonLocationService.maps.default` wit the map name created in the Amazon Location Service in the `src/environments/environment.ts` and `src/environments/environment.prod.ts` files as below.

```typescript
amplify: {
Auth: {
identityPoolId: 'us-east-1:57a33aaf-0026-44e3-908c-7fb9d5730b9f',
region: 'us-east-1',
},
geo: {
AmazonLocationService: {
maps: {
items: {
AmazonMap: {
style: 'Default style',
}
},
default: 'AmazonMap',
},
region: 'us-east-1',
},
},
},
```

**4.** Install the `aws-amplify`, `maplibre-gl-js-amplify` and `@types/geojson` libraries.

```powershell
npm install aws-amplify maplibre-gl-js-amplify
npm install @types/geojson --save-dev
```

**5.** Configure the `maplibre-gl` library. Change the `angular.json` file and add the `maplibre-gl.css` file as below.

```json
"styles": [
"node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss",
"node_modules/bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons.css",
"node_modules/maplibre-gl/dist/maplibre-gl.css",
"src/styles.scss"
],
```

**6.** Change the `src/polyfills.ts` file. Add the global declaration as below. This configuration is required starting with Angular version 6.

```typescript
(window as any).global = window;
```

**7.** Remove the content of the `AppComponent` class from the `src/app/app.component.ts` file. Import the `maplibre-gl-js-amplify` service and create the `getCurrentPosition` and `loadMap` methods as below.

```typescript
import { AfterViewInit, Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable, Subscriber } from 'rxjs';
import Amplify from 'aws-amplify';
import { createMap } from 'maplibre-gl-js-amplify';
import * as maplibregl from 'maplibre-gl';

import { environment } from '../environments/environment';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'],
})
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {

map: any;

constructor() {
Amplify.configure(environment.amplify);
}

public ngAfterViewInit(): void {
this.loadMap();
}

private getCurrentPosition(): any {
return new Observable((observer: Subscriber) => {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position: any) => {
observer.next({
latitude: position.coords.latitude,
longitude: position.coords.longitude,
});
observer.complete();
});
} else {
observer.error();
}
});
}

private loadMap(): void {
createMap({
container: 'map',
center: [0, 0],
zoom: 0,
})
.then((map: any) => {
this.map = map;

this.map.addControl(new maplibregl.NavigationControl());
this.map.addControl(new maplibregl.GeolocateControl());

this.getCurrentPosition()
.subscribe((position: any) => {
this.map.flyTo({ center: [position.longitude, position.latitude], zoom: 13 });

const marker = new maplibregl.Marker();
marker.setLngLat([position.longitude, position.latitude]);
marker.setPopup(new maplibregl.Popup().setHTML('Angular AWS Map'));
marker.addTo(this.map);
});
});
}
}
```

**8.** Remove the contents of the `src/app/app.component.html` file. Add the map `div` tag as below.

```html


Angular AWS Map



```

**9.** Add the style in the `src/app/app.component.scss` file as below.

```css
#map {
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
max-width: 600px;
}
```

**10.** Run the application with the command below.

```powershell
npm start

> [email protected] start
> ng serve
