Forked Dependencies

There are many packages we use to make phila-vue-mapping work that, for one of a number of reasons, there is no released version of the package that works any more.

The reasons this might have happened include:

• We needed to make a tiny adjustment to make the package work with phila-vue-mapping
• We needed much more functionality than the package provided
• The package was not updated, and it or its dependencies became problems

Because we forked the repos, we could not do our own npm release (it does not allow releases of forks).

We therefore put the latest commits we make directly into package.json files so that we can incorporate our changes.

These packages include:

package	our last update	last updated previous to our fork	stars	frameworks/sites affected
leaflet-vector-icon - see on github	Mar 20, 2019	Oct 20, 2016	112	Mapboard, Layerboard, Pinboard, Viewerboard, Property Data Explorer
leaflet-measure - see on github	Mar 20, 2019	Apr 8, 2018	194	Mapboard, Layerboard
L.esri.WebMap - see on github	Oct 22, 2019	May 11, 2018, but mostly idle since 2016	12	Layerboard
esri-leaflet-legend - see on github	May 5, 2019	Jul 4, 2017	15	Layerboard
Leaflet.PointInPolygon - see on github	Apr 24, 2019	Feb 27, 2017	12	Layerboard
SDLeafletDraw - see on github	Dec 23, 2019	May 10, 2018	5	Propery Data Explorer

The next ones are dependencies of L.esri.WebMap:

package	our last update	last updated previous to our fork	stars	frameworks/sites affected
esri-leaflet-vector - see on github	Mar 20, 2019	Feb 6, 2019	25	Mapboard, Layerboard, Pinboard, Viewerboard, Property Data Explorer
leaflet-omnivore - see on github	Apr 29, 2019	Mar 20, 2017	491	Layerboard

This is not an official fork, but we took the minimized cyclomedia code and put it in github and aws. We had to do this because we found that the leaflet map would not be pannable on an iphone or ipad unless we did.
