Would be nice to provide documentation on how to use this plugin

//initialise all waypoints

@philippfrenzel Thanks for the code snippets. It would be nice if this kind of snippet is added to the doc. It's a lot of work figuring out how to use it. Plus using the makimaker plugin throws an exception

Argument 1 passed to dosamigos\leaflet\layers\Marker::setIcon() must be an instance of dosamigos\leaflet\types\Icon, instance of yii\web\JsExpression given, called in /home/eyedol/Devel/Workspace/eatout/advanced/vendor/yiisoft/yii2/base/Component.php on line 168 and defined

It seems leaflet expects it's Icon type but makimarker returns a JSON string.

@eyedol is it working on your side? I send a pull request which removed the type passed over to the function so then it's working fine! you can see a working map here:

@eyedol I know that all Yii2 extensions have very little documentation but this is due to the plans that I have for all them. Apologies now as I do not have much time but documentation wont be an issue in the future. I am waiting for Yii2 beta.

Best and also thank you @philippfrenzel

@tonydspaniard I'm happy you had the time to build this "first" version, as docs are cool, for the current stability I totally understand that it's hard to follow up, even as you are having more then one repo to keep "up to date" ;)
