The function called inside the 'map_changed' listener of Google Maps is called multiple ti

Time:11-15

I am using markerclustererplus with Google Maps. I have multiple markers and I have set it so that only one InfoWindow displays at a time. If the user clicks on a marker, an InfoWindow appears. If the user zooms out and the marker is absorbed into a cluster, the InfoWindow is closed.

I use the 'map_changed' listener to the markers to check if the marker has been "absorbed" into a cluster. If so, the InfoWindow is closed and I want to call another function one time only. The problem is that in my current code, the function gets called for multiple markers.

How can I either add the 'map_changed' listener to the currently-selected marker only? If this is not possible, how can I prevent the function being called multiple times? Do I need to temporarily remove the 'map_changed' listener to non-selected markers?

The function I want to call is named "closeMarker()". Please see the JSfiddle.

JS:

var map;

function loadMap() {

  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    center: {
      lat: -41.75,
      lng: 172.75
    },
    zoom: 4
  });

  addMarkers();
}

CodePudding user response:

One option to address the issue would be to set the variable curMark to null when you close it's InfoWindow and move the call to closeMark to the code that closes the InfoWindow and sets the curMark variable to null.

Also, not sure why you are setting infowindow to null there, but if you do that, it will only call closeMarker one time.

Updated map_changed listener:

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'map_changed', function() {
   var clusters = markerClusterer.getClusters(); // use the get clusters method which returns an array of objects
   for (let i = 0, l = clusters.length; i < l; i  ) {
     const markers = clusters[i].getMarkers();
     for (const m of markers) {
       if (m === curMark && markers.length > 1) {
         try {
           if (infowindow !== null) {
             infowindow.close();
             closeMarker();
             curMark=null;
           }
           if (prev_infowindow) {
             prev_infowindow.close();
           }
         } catch (ee) {}
      }
     }
   }
});
