Properties

All objects that are received from the server are cached in properties of the client object.

All objects that can be part of a map have an id. Note that when an object is updated, the whole object is replaced in these properties, so be careful to not cache outdated versions of objects:

let myMarker = client.markers[myMarkerId];
setTimeout(() => {
	// Bad! A client.markers[myMarkerId] might have been replaced if the marker
	// has been changed in the meantime, and we are using the old version.
	doSomethingWithMarker(myMarker);
}, 10000);

setTimeout(() => {
	// Better! Always get objects directly from the client cache.
	doSomethingWithMarker(client.markers[myMarkerId]);
});

// If you need to keep an object copy, make sure to keep it updated
client.on("marker", (marker) => {
	if(marker.id == myMarkerId)
		myMarker = marker;
});

padId

The ID of the collaborative map that the client is connected to. Can be the read-only, writable or admin ID of an existing map.

Note that the ID can be changed in the settings. If in case of a padData event, the ID of the pad has changed, this property is updated automatically.

Set: when calling setPadId and in response to a padData event.
Type: string

readonly

true if the map has been opened using its read-only ID. false if the map is writable.

Set: during setPadId.
Type: boolean

writable

2 if the map has been opened using its admin ID, 1 if if has been opened using the writable ID, 0 if the map is read-only.

Set: during setPadId.
Type: number

deleted

true if the map was deleted while this client was connected to it.

Set: in response to a deletePad event.
Type: boolean

padData

The current settings of the map. writeId and/or adminId is null if if has been opened using another ID than the admin ID.

Set: in response to a padData event.
Type: PadData

markers

All markers that have been retrieved so far.

Set: in response to marker and deleteMarker events.
Type: { [markerId: number]: Marker }

lines

All lines of the map along with the track points that have been retrieved so far.

Set: in response to line, linePoints and deleteLine events.
Type: { [lineId: number]: Line } (with track points)

views

All views of the map.

Set: in response to view and deleteView events.
Type: { [viewId: number]: View }

types

All types of the map.

Set: in response to type and deleteType events.
Type: { [typeId: number]: Type }

history

All history entries that have been retrieved so far. Note that you have to subscribe to the history using listenToHistory().

Set: in response to history events.
Type: { [entryId: number]: HistoryEntry }

route

Details and track points (simplified for the current bbox) for the active route set using setRoute() with routeId set to undefined, or undefined if no such route is active.

Set: during setRoute() and in response to routePoints events.
Type: Route

routes

Details and track points (simplified for the current bbox) for the active routes set using setRoute() with routeId set to a string.

Set: during setRoute() and in response to routePoints events.
Type: { [routeId: string]: Route }

serverError

If the opening the map failed (setPadId(padId) promise got rejected), the error message is stored in this property.

Set: in response to a serverError event (fired during setPadId).
Type: Error

loading

A number that indicates how many requests are currently pending (meaning how many async methods are currently running). You can use this to show a loading spinner or disable certain UI elements while the value is greater than 0.

Set: increased when any method is called and decreased when the method returns.
Type: number

disconnected

false in the beginning, changed to true as soon as the socket.io connection is made. May be false temporarily if the connection is lost.
