Implementing Dynamic Heat Maps In Angular Applications

In the article, I would like to describe a way to easily implement a simple heat map in an Angular application. For that, I will use two external libraries, which are going to be Leaflet.js and Heatmaps.js.

Leaflet.js

It is one of the most popular JavaScript libraries for interactive maps. It has over 30k stars on GitHub. There is an alternative to it such as OpenLayers. But in my example, I picked a leaflet.
