I am trying to use the leaflet-draw tool for two different things:
I've set up two individual draw controls for each purpose. For the second, I have all but the draw:polyline disabled. The problem: I save my elements with the
map.on('draw:created', function(){...});
"command". But this way I (or the eventhandler, respectively :)) cant differentiate, if the line was drawn with the first or the second button. So basically i can use the draw tool either for one thing or the other. Is there a way where I can use the same tool for different applications on the same map?
Thanks for any hints or work arounds.
An alternative would be to use Leaflet-Geoman instead of Leaflet-Draw.
There you can create copies of Draw instances and add them a new shape name:
// copy a rectangle and customize its name, block, title and actions
map.pm.Toolbar.copyDrawControl('Polygon', {
name: 'PolygonCopy',
block: 'custom',
title: 'Display text on hover button',
actions: ['cancel', 'removeLastVertex', 'finish'],
});
And then you can check the shape name in the create event:
// listen to when a new layer is created
map.on('pm:create', function(e) {
console.log(e)
if(e.shape === 'Polygon'){
alert('Original Polygon')
}else if(e.shape === 'PolygonCopy'){
alert('Copy Polygon')
}
});
