Can't get _leaflet_id of a drawn object with leaflet draw

[Khalil SLAMA]

Hi !

I need to get the "_leaflet_id" of each drawed feature in the map, but the problem is that I get "undefined" each time.

Please find below my code:

var featureGroup = L.featureGroup().addTo(map);

        var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({

                position : 'topleft',

                draw: {

                        polygon : false

                },

                edit: {

                        featureGroup : featureGroup

                }

        });

        map.on('draw:created', function (e) {

                var type = e.layerType,

                        layer = e.layer;

                if (type === 'circle')

                {

                        console.log(layer._leaflet_id);

                        console.log(layer);

                }

                featureGroup.addLayer(e.layer);

        });

        map.on('draw:deleted', function (e) {

                var type = e.layerType,

                        layer = e.layer;

                if (type === 'circle')

                {

                        //circles.remove(layer._leaflet_id);

                }

                featureGroup.removeLayer(e.layer);

        });

When I do layer._leaflet_id I get : undefined

But, whith console.log(layer), I can see the _leaflet_id of the drawn object (_leaflet_id : 42) :

o.Class.extend.e {options: Object, _latlng: o.LatLng, _mRadius: 1369.5112680602524, _initHooksCalled: true, editing: o.Class.extend.e…}
_container: g
_initHooksCalled: true
_latlng: o.LatLng
_leaflet_events: Object
_leaflet_id: 42
_mRadius: 1369.5112680602524
_map: o.Class.extend.e
_path: path
_point: o.Point
_radius: 54
editing: o.Class.extend.e
options: Object
__proto__: o.Class.extend.i

Why I can't get it ? Is there any other solution to get this id please ?

Many thanks,

I don't see anything wrong with your code. I just tried it and its working for me. What happens if you set a breakpoint in the draw:created event and check the value in the console? What do you get if you try to do console.log(e.layer._leaflet_id)?

If you comment out 

featureGroup.addLayer(e.layer);

You'll see that e.layer never gets a _leaflet_id which gives you your answer. It gets assigned by adding it to the featureGroup

Yes, I saw this detail after doing some tests with featureGroup. Now I can get the _leaflet_id using the featureGroup.

Thank you Paul and Pat for your responses.

am too having the same problem. Getting _leaflet_id as undefined .

map.on('draw:deleted', function (e) {

       var layers = e.layers;
       console.log(layers._layers._leaflet_id);
});

Did you read the above posts? Are you adding your layer to a featureGroup?
