the long-awaited lurker, the first poster here, so be gentle ...
I am building a map that uses data processed using MYSQL db via PHP to set the color of the polygons defined by the geoJson file (it uses this on google dev as a template). The problem I am facing is that the data layer will not automatically initialize when the page loads.
Full javascript / HTML is located below, but the code section that was used in the following example to initialize the data layer:
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map.data, 'addfeature', function() {
google.maps.event.trigger(document.getElementById('price_select'),
'change');
});
This gives me the error "Uncaught TypeError: Unable to read the property" setProperty "from undefined". If I comment on the listener, the data layer will load normally, but only after I manually select a new entry from the drop-down list (id = 'price_select').
The geoJson file that I am loading is relatively large (~ 14 Mb), so I think that it happens that the listener starts before the whole file is downloaded ("addfeature" waits only for the first function to be added, but I have> 2000) , and therefore the areas processed by PHP do not yet have the corresponding function identifier, which is set by the parameter idPropertyName: 'Name'in the loadGeoJson call. I do not know how to configure the listener to run only once when the entire GeoJson file is loaded. Alternatively, I can be completely wrong, as this is the cause of the error.
