I was hoping that GeoJSON.addData() would return the newly created subLayer of the GeoJSON object, but it does not. Why Do I need something like this?
(currently using Leaflet 1.0Beta2)
I am using Leaflet GeoJson to show live data in a GeoJSON (point, line, polygon). It is a CRUD interface (Create, Update and Delete). I receive WebSocket messages with GeoJSON data, each one with a GUID.
I the case of a CREATE I just do a GeoJSon.AddData() to the appropriate layer.
But for the UPDATE and DELETE I want a handle for the layer that was added to the GeoJSON so that I can update its location, or update the Geometry. addData is not giving me this handle. And it is really hard to get it from onEachFeature() or from pointToLayer()
Currently, I do have a way that works but ugly. I have to do is search the entire layer with GeoJSon.eachLayer(fn) whenever an update or delete occurs. It seems a bit expensive.
{even if Leaflet is not truly engineered for this live r/t display of data, it is working, and it seems sad if you cannot use it for watching a lot of sensor data, IoT) as we are doing.
this.delete = function (layerName, feature) {
if (!(layerName in self.myLayers)) {
alert("live.display: Missing Layer: " + layerName);
return;
}
var layerInfo = Live.myLayers[layerName];
var base = layerInfo.layer;
var id = feature.properties.objectID;
this.find(layerName, id, function (layer) {
this.removeLayer(layer);
Tools.debug(16, "live.delete:", "killed object: " + id);
});
}
this.find = function (layerName, id, action) {
var base = Live.myLayers[layerName].layer;
base.eachLayer(function (feature) {
if (!("objectID" in feature.feature.properties)) { return; }
var objectID = feature.feature.properties.objectID;
if (objectID == id) {
action.call(base, feature);
}
});
}
