Don't generate map click events when marker clicked in leaflet

Question

So, I have a leaflet map...

var map = L.map('map').setView([35.772219, -78.675272], 17);
map.on('click', function(e) {alert('map click!')});

and I add a marker...

var marker = L.circleMarker([35.772219, -78.675272]);
marker.on('click', function(e) {alert('marker click!')});
marker.addTo(map);

If I click on the marker, both the marker and map click events fire, but I only want the click event for the marker... Is there any way to accomplish this? I can't seem to find one in the docs.

Answer 1

L.DomEvent.stopPropagation should do the trick:

Stop the given event from propagation to parent elements. Used inside the listener functions:

marker.on('click', function(e) {
    L.DomEvent.stopPropagation(e);
    console.log('marker click!')
});

And a demo (one circle cancels its event and not the other)

 var map = L.map('map').setView([35.772219, -78.675272], 10); map.on('click', function(e) {console.log('map click!')}); var marker = L.circleMarker([35.772219, -78.68]); marker.on('click', function(e) { L.DomEvent.stopPropagation(e); console.log('marker click!') }); marker.addTo(map); marker = L.circleMarker([35.772219, -78.63], {fillColor: 'red'}); marker.on('click', function(e) { console.log('marker click with map click') }); marker.addTo(map);

Answer 2

Have you try to add a e.preventDefault(); and e.stopPropagation() in the function of your marker click? Like so:

marker.on('click', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); alert('marker click!');});

Answer 3

use event.stopPropagation() , to stop event bubbling to the parent. See stopPropagation .

 document.querySelector('.parent').addEventListener('click', () => { console.log('Listening parent'); }); document.querySelector('.child').addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.stopPropagation(); console.log('Listening child'); });

 <div class="parent"> parent <div class="child"> child </div> </div>
