How to know when a react-leaflet popup is closed


I have a 'leaflet-react' map, with some markers. When a marker is clicked, a popup opens. When you click away or close the popup, I need to know when is's closed so I can tell if it's open.

the marker generation looks like the code below. Marker and Popup come from 'react-leaflet', SiteForm is my code.

var markers = this.props.sites.map((item, i) => {
  <Marker icon={icon}  key={i} position={{ lng: co[0], lat: co[1] }}>
    <Popup> 
        <SiteForm item={item} />
    </Popup>
  </Marker> 
}

in componentDidMount in Siteform I can tell when a popup is opened, but componentWillUnmount isn't triggered when you close the popup.

I've tried extending Marker, but thats bad practise and also I couldn't extend from the Marker Symbol. I've also tried wrapping Popup in a component but componentDidMount runs on every marker when the page loads not popup open.


Solution

  • Layer.popupclose event could be utilized for that matter, which

    Fired when a popup bound to this layer is closed

    In case of react-leaflet library popupclose event could be attached to Map component like this:

    const MapComponent = props => {
      const { zoom, center } = props;
    
      const handlePopupClose = (e) => {
        console.log(e.popup)
      }
    
    
      return (
        <div>
          <Map center={center} zoom={zoom} onPopupClose={handlePopupClose}>
            <TileLayer url="https://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"  />
            <Marker  position={center}>
              <Popup>
                <div>Australia</div>
              </Popup>
            </Marker>
          </Map>
        </div>
      );
    }
