I'm trying to enable snapping (using Leaflet Snap)in a Leaflet application I'm creating. I'm using Leaflet Draw. Existing layers are read in from a database in geojson. I add these to the guideLayers and I add newly created features there too. It's not working. Has anyone successfully been able to create something like this? That is, been able to create a new polygon and snap to existing polygons in leaflet (geojson layers)? Thanks Dan.
Add geojson to guideLayers code:
function renderLta(_ltas,ltaLayerName) {
L.geoJSON([_ltas.geoJson], {
name:_ltas.id,
areaName:_ltas.localThreatAreaName,
areaDescription:_ltas.localThreatAreaDescription,
style: function (feature) {
return _getLtaStyle(1);
},
onEachFeature: function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {
ltaLayerName.addLayer(layer);
guideLayers.push(layer);
layer.on('click', function(e) {
if(selectedFeature) {
selectedFeature.editing.disable();
// Has there been a change? Does the user need to save?
// get layer again and redraw
drawnItems.removeLayer(selectedFeature);
selectedFeature.addTo(map_lta);
}
selectedFeature = e.target;
e.target.editing.enable();
drawnItems.addLayer(e.target);
});
}
});
ltaLayerName.addTo(map);
Add new layer/data to guideLayers code:
map.on(L.Draw.Event.CREATED, function(event) {
var layer = event.layer;
var content = getPopupContent(layer);
if (content !== null) {
layer.bindPopup(content);
}
drawnItems.addLayer(layer);
guideLayers.push(layer);
});
DrawControl Code:
var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
edit: {
featureGroup: drawnItems,
poly : {
allowIntersection : false
}
},
draw: {
polyline: false,
polygon : { showArea: true, allowIntersection : false, guideLayers: guideLayers, snapDistance: 500 },
circle: false,
rectangle: false,
marker: false,
circlemarker: false
}
});
map_lta.addControl(drawControl);
drawControl.setDrawingOptions({
polygon: { guideLayers: guideLayers, snapDistance: 50 },
});
You can use the following library to draw and snap https://www.npmjs.com/package/@geoman-io/leaflet-geoman-free packages
and for more functionalities which are not present in above mentioned package you can use this one especially for polylines https://www.npmjs.com/package/leaflet-linestring-editor
