Event After Modifying Polygon In Google Maps Api V3

I made a mapping application that uses the drawing manager (and implements selectable shapes). The program works as follows: when finishing drawing the polygon after clicking a but

Solution 1:

I solved it by calling .getPath() and putting the listener inside the listener which is called every time a shape is clicked. I think the Google API documentation is not very clear on how to use the set_at so it may be useful for other people too.

// Add an event listener that selects the newly-drawn shape when the user// mouses down on it.var newShape = e.overlay;
newShape.type = e.type;
google.maps.event.addListener(newShape, 'click', function() {
    google.maps.event.addListener(newShape.getPath(), 'set_at', function() {
        console.log("test");
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(newShape.getPath(), 'insert_at', function() {
        console.log("test");
    });
    setSelection(newShape);
});

Solution 2:

    google.maps.event.addListener(yourPolygon.getPath(), 'insert_at', function(index, obj) {
           //polygon object: yourPolygon
    });
    google.maps.event.addListener(yourPolygon.getPath(), 'set_at', function(index, obj) {
           //polygon object: yourPolygon
    });

The above code is working for me. Where set_at is fired when we modify a polygon area from a highlighted dot (edges) and insert_at is fired when we drag point that is between highlighted edges.

I used them in the polygoncomplete event and after loading a polygon from the database. It is working fine for them.

Solution 3:

To avoid the problems mentioned with set_at and dragging, I added the following, which disables event broadcasting for set_at when the drawing is being dragged. I created a class that extends the polygon class, and added this method:

ExtDrawingPolygon.prototype.enableCoordinatesChangedEvent = function(){
  var me = this,
      superClass = me.superClass,
      isBeingDragged = false,
      triggerCoordinatesChanged = function(){
         //broadcast normalized event
         google.maps.event.trigger(superClass, 'coordinates_changed');
      };

  // If the overlay is being dragged, set_at gets called repeatedly,// so either we can debounce that or ignore while dragging,// ignoring is more efficient.
  google.maps.event.addListener(superClass, 'dragstart', function(){
    isBeingDragged = true;
  });

  // If the overlay is dragged
  google.maps.event.addListener(superClass, 'dragend', function(){
    triggerCoordinatesChanged();
    isBeingDragged = false;
  });

  // Or vertices are added to any of the possible paths, or deletedvar paths = superClass.getPaths();
  paths.forEach(function(path, i){
    google.maps.event.addListener(path, "insert_at", function(){
      triggerCoordinatesChanged();
    });
    google.maps.event.addListener(path, "set_at", function(){
      if(!isBeingDragged){
        triggerCoordinatesChanged();
      }
    });
    google.maps.event.addListener(path, "remove_at", function(){
      triggerCoordinatesChanged();
    });
  });
};

It added a "coordinates_changed" event to the polygon itself, so other code can just listen for a nice, single, simplified event.

Solution 4:

Starting from chrismarx's answer, below is an example of using a new event in TypeScript. I have done a small change of removing superclass and changing references to "me", because there was a problem with undefined reference.

At the top of your file or global configuration file, etc., use:

declareglobal {
    module google.maps {
        interfacePolygon {
            enableCoordinatesChangedEvent();
        }
    }
}

Then define extension:

google.maps.Polygon.prototype.enableCoordinatesChangedEvent = function () {

    var me = this,
        isBeingDragged = false,
        triggerCoordinatesChanged = function () {
            // Broadcast normalized event
            google.maps.event.trigger(me, 'coordinates_changed');
        };

    // If  the overlay is being dragged, set_at gets called repeatedly,// so either we can debounce that or igore while dragging,// ignoring is more efficient
    google.maps.event.addListener(me, 'dragstart', function () {
        isBeingDragged = true;
    });

    // If the overlay is dragged
    google.maps.event.addListener(me, 'dragend', function () {
        triggerCoordinatesChanged();
        isBeingDragged = false;
    });

    // Or vertices are added to any of the possible paths, or deletedvar paths = me.getPaths();
    paths.forEach(function (path, i) {
        google.maps.event.addListener(path, "insert_at", function () {
            triggerCoordinatesChanged();
        });
        google.maps.event.addListener(path, "set_at", function () {
            if (!isBeingDragged) {
                triggerCoordinatesChanged();
            }
        });
        google.maps.event.addListener(path, "remove_at", function () {
            triggerCoordinatesChanged();
        });
    });
};

Finally call extension and add listener:

  google.maps.event.addListener(drawingManager, 'overlaycomplete', function (event) {
        event.overlay.enableCoordinatesChangedEvent();

        google.maps.event.addListener(event.overlay, 'coordinates_changed', function (index, obj) {
            // Polygon object: yourPolygon
            console.log('coordinates_changed');
        });
    });

Solution 5:

Starting from Thomas' answer, here is an implementation that enables edits to overlays created with DrawingManager, as well as to Features added from GeoJSON.

The main struggle for me was using the google.maps-prefixed overlay types created by DrawingManager alongside similarly named google.maps.DataFeature types created by addFromGeoJson(). Ultimately I ignored the built-in Data object in favor storing everything as a re-created overlay, setting edit event listeners, and then calling setMap() on them individually as they were drawn. The originally drawn overlays and loaded features are discarded.

The process looks something like this:

  1. Initialize the map.
  2. Add an addfeature event listener to detect whenever a feature is added. This will get fired during addGeoJson() for each Feature, getting its corresponding overlay type and geometry and passing them to a utility function addFeature() to create the overlay.
  3. Load any GeoJSON. This will fire the event listener above for every object loaded in.
  4. Initialize the DrawingManager.
  5. Add {overlay}complete event listeners for each type of overlay (polygon, polyline, and marker). When fired, these events first determine if the overlay is valid (e.g. polygons have >= 3 vertices) and then call addFeature(), passing in the overlay type and geometry.

When called, addFeature() re-creates the overlay and sets all applicable event listeners. Finally, the overlay is stored in the array and displayed on the map.

// GeoJSON containing previously stored data (optional) var imported = {
  type: "FeatureCollection",
  features: [{
    "type": "Feature",
    "geometry": {
      "type": "Point",
      "coordinates": [
        -73.985603, 40.748429
      ],
    },
    properties: {
      activity: "Entry",
    }
  }, ]
};

// this will fill with map data as you import it from geojson or drawvar features = {
  polygons: [],
  lines: [],
  markers: []
};

// set default drawing stylesvar styles = {
  polygon: {
    fillColor: '#00ff80',
    fillOpacity: 0.3,
    strokeColor: '#008840',
    strokeWeight: 1,
    clickable: true,
    editable: true,
    zIndex: 1
  },
  polyline: {
    strokeColor: '#ffff00',
    strokeWeight: 3,
    clickable: true,
    editable: true,
    zIndex: 2
  },
  marker: {
    clickable: true,
    draggable: true,
    zIndex: 3
  }
}

var map;

functioninitMap() {
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
