Save extra data to marker (or layer)

[steosoft]

It should be possible to add custom extra data to marker.
In original library we can do it just by passing key-value while creating marker object.
Is it possible to add this function to library?

You can extend Marker class and create a custom version. Then you can add either well typed api for properties you know or even expose a map like API if you really need that.

Have you thought about using the setData() method of LMarker, inherited from AbstractComponent?

[mstahv]

I guess @steosoft is using this in GWT application? The setData suggested by @octavm only in the Vaadin integration side. Even there I'd suggest to create the extensions for better typed and documented API.

@mstahv you're right. I wasn't paying attention, just now I noticed this is for g-leaflet.

[steosoft]

Yes, I'm using it in GWT application. I've changed my code so I don't need passing extra data anymore but good to know how to do that in the future. Thank you.
