No Support for Angular

Hi , I was trying to make an delivery application using azure maps but got stuck as there is no Animation module in azure-map-control .
I tried to go for any alternative but not found any.
This repo need its npm package so that it can be use by different frameworks

Please provide us with the following information:

Would be great if this project can be published to npm
Hard to include it to our project with the current package
