Example of one way to integrate Leafletjs w/ Leaflet.draw extending it to add methods to: - Load markers from KML and overlay onto map. - Return array of all markers on a map. - Return array of all polygons on a map. - Return array of markers which are within a specified polygon. Requires UnderscoreJS and @shramov/leaflet-plugins (for KML loader…
