How do I get the latlng after the dragend event in leaflet? - event-handling

Question

I'm trying to update the lat/lng value of a marker after it is moved. The example provided uses a popup window to display the lat/lng.
I have a "dragend" event listener for the marker, but when I alert the value of e.latlng it returns undefined.
javascript:
function markerDrag(e){
alert("You dragged to: " + e.latlng);
}
function initialize() {
// Initialize the map
var map = L.map('map').setView([38.487, -75.641], 8);
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
attribution: 'Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA',
maxZoom: 18
}).addTo(map);
// Event Handlers
map.on('click', function(e){
var marker = new L.Marker(e.latlng, {draggable:true});
marker.bindPopup("<strong>"+e.latlng+"</strong>").addTo(map);
marker.on('dragend', markerDrag);
});
}
$(document).ready(initialize());

Answer 1

Use e.target.getLatLng() to get the latlng of the updated position.
// Script for adding marker on map click
function onMapClick(e) {
var marker = L.marker(e.latlng, {
draggable:true,
title:"Resource location",
alt:"Resource Location",
riseOnHover:true
}).addTo(map)
.bindPopup(e.latlng.toString()).openPopup();
// #12 : Update marker popup content on changing it's position
marker.on("dragend",function(e){
var chagedPos = e.target.getLatLng();
this.bindPopup(chagedPos.toString()).openPopup();
});
}

Answer 2

latlng value is not in e.latlng but in e.target._latlng .
Use console.

Answer 3

While using e.target._latlng works (as proposed by this other answer), it's better practice to use
e.target.getLatLng();
That way we're not exposing any private variables, as is recommended by Leaflet:
Private properties and methods start with an underscore (_). This doesn’t make them private, just recommends developers not to use them directly.

Answer 4

I think the API changed.
Nowadays is: const { lat, lng } = e.target.getCenter();

Answer 5

if anyone is using react than you should use :
const map = useMap()
map.addEventListener("dragend" , ()=> {
const {lat , lng} = map.getCenter()
})
