Airports Plugin

The tangram_airports plugin adds an airport search widget as an overlay on the top-right corner of the map. This allows users to quickly find and center the map on any airport by name, IATA code, or ICAO code.

How It Works

This is a frontend-only plugin that requires no additional backend configuration.

1. It registers a Vue component, AirportSearchWidget.vue, in the MapOverlay location of the UI.
2. The component uses the rs1090-wasm library, which is bundled with the core tangram application, to perform a fast, client-side search of a comprehensive airport database.
3. When a user selects an airport from the search results, the plugin uses the MapApi to pan and zoom the map to the airport's location.
