Geocoding addresses in Leaflet

Geocoding is the process by which you can enter an address and be taken to a point on the map. Geocoding functionality is not part of the Esri-leaflet core but is a separate plugin. You can find more information on the esri-leaflet-geocoder GitHub page at https://github.com/Esri/esri-leaflet-geocoder.
