OpenLayers as ES2015 modules.
**Note: This is still a work in progress. Not yet ready for production.**
**Note: This package is in beta and the API is subject to change before a final stable release.**
## Usage
Add the `ol` package as a dependency to your project.
npm install ol@beta --save
npm install ol --save
Import just what you need for your application:

## Module Identifiers
The module identifiers above (e.g. `ol/map`) are like the `ol.Map` names in the [API documentation](http://openlayers.org/en/latest/apidoc/) with `/` instead of `.` and all lowercase. Each module only has a `default` export (there are no other named exports).
Constructors are exported from dedicated modules. For example, the `ol/layer/tile` module exports the `Tile` layer constructor.
Utility functions are available as properties of the default export from utility modules. For example, the `getCenter` function is a property of the default export from the `ol/extent` utility module.
## Caveats
* Module identifiers and the structure of the exports are subject to change while this package is in beta.
* The WebGL renderer is not available in this package.
