I am using LRM to calculate routes. And I need data about this routes. Now I'm just learning how to exctract this data so I can use it further. I have two routes
var routing1 = L.Routing.control({
waypoints: [
L.latLng(54.736038, 55.97429),
L.latLng(54.736985, 55.980878),
],
});
var routing2 = L.Routing.control({
waypoints: [
L.latLng(54.732798, 55.969934),
L.latLng(54.734954, 55.95809)
],
});
I have a button to draw this routes
document.getElementById("drawing").addEventListener("click", myFunction);
function myFunction() {
routing1.addTo(map).on('routesfound', function (e) {
distance = e.routes[0].summary.totalDistance;
console.log('routing1 ' + distance);
});
routing2.addTo(map).on('routesfound', function (e) {
distance = e.routes[0].summary.totalDistance;
console.log('routing2 ' + distance);
});
}
As I don't quite understand JS yet so I have this question:
How can I console.log route's summary the moment route calculated? Without drawing it.
TomazicM helped me with solution:
Upon investigation it turns out that quite a big part of routing process depends on adding L.Routing.control to map. To force route calculation and prevent showing of route on the map requires some hacking trickery:
Itinerary display must be prevented with show: false option.
Endpoints marker display must be prevented by dummy marker creation option createMarker: function(p1,p2) {}.
Internal _updateLines method has to be replaced with dummy method.
Routing control must be added to map with onAdd(map) method.
Final code then looks something like this:
var wayPoint1 = L.latLng(57.74, 11.94);
var wayPoint2 = L.latLng(57.6792, 11.949);
var bounds = L.latLngBounds(wayPoint1, wayPoint2);
var myRouting = L.Routing.control({
waypoints: [wayPoint1, wayPoint2],
routeWhileDragging: true,
show: false,
createMarker: function(p1,p2) {}
});
myRouting.on('routesfound', function (e) {
distance = e.routes[0].summary.totalDistance;
console.log('routing distance: ' + distance);
});
// save original mathed for later use
var _updateLines = myRouting._updateLines;
myRouting._updateLines = function (p1) { };
map.fitBounds(bounds);
myRouting.onAdd(map);
