Display polyline length in feet using the Leaflet.Draw toolbar

Question

I am creating a map in which the user can draw lines using the Leaflet.Draw toolbar. I would like the line mileage to be displayed in feet / miles instead of standard yards / miles. Looking at a project on GitHub, it seems to me that the following code should do the following:

 var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
            draw: {
                polyline: {
                    shapeOptions: {
                        color: 'red',
                    },
                    metric: false,
                    feet: true,
                }
            }            
        });

But the length is still displayed in the yards. Any insight into why this would be helpful.

What version of Leaflet.draw are you using?

Note that:

• Leaflet.draw v0.2.4/0.2.4-dev ( GitHub demo) feet.
• Leaflet.draw v0.3.0/0.3.0-dev ( Leaflet 0.7) feet.
• Leaflet.draw leaflet-master Leaflet 1.0 0.2.4 feet.
