Javascript — Getting value of variable in another controller scope method










0















Working with the google maps api (geolocation).
Here is the code in question.



 var lat;
var lng;
var moveLat;
var moveLng;
var moveMarker;
var marker;

$scope.initMap = () =>

// TODO:Privilege Check!

var checkPrivilege = false;

console.log("Clicked Generate Map Pin");

var x = document.getElementById("demo");

if (navigator.geolocation)

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (position)

lat = parseFloat(position.coords.latitude);
lng = parseFloat(position.coords.longitude);
console.log("Lat " + lat + " Lng " + lng);

// The location of current user
var CMU_SV = lat: parseFloat(lat), lng: parseFloat(lng);

// The map, centered at current user
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById('map'), zoom: 4, center: CMU_SV);

map.setOptions( minZoom: 15, maxZoom: 20 );

// True for admin user
if (checkPrivilege)

// The marker, positioned at current user's position
moveMarker = new google.maps.Marker(position: CMU_SV, flat: false, map: map, draggable: true);

// False for regular user
else

//var moveMarker = new google.maps.Marker(position: CMU_SV, flat: false, map: map, draggable: true);
marker = new google.maps.Marker(position: CMU_SV, map: map);

);
else
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";

;

$scope.sendLocationInfo = () =>

var checkPrivilege = false;

if (checkPrivilege)

moveLat = parseFloat(moveMarker.getPosition().lat);
moveLng = parseFloat(moveMarker.getPosition().lng);

console.log(moveLat, moveLng);
$scope.LocationInfo = moveLat + "," + moveLng;
$scope.hasLocationInfo = true;

else

lat = parseFloat(marker.getPosition().lat);
lng = parseFloat(marker.getPosition().lat);

console.log(lat, lng);
$scope.LocationInfo = lat + "," + lng;
$scope.hasLocationInfo = true;


var currentUser = $cookies.get('userName');

$scope.message = currentUser + " has shared their location!";

client.sendLocationInfo(currentUser, $scope.LocationInfo, $scope.hasLocationInfo)
.then(() =>
$scope.LocationInfo = "";
);

client.sendPublicWallMessage($scope.message)
.then(() =>
$scope.message = '';
)
;


As you can see, I initialize 6 var's at the beginning -- outside of initMap and sendLocationInfo.



There are also two map markers (moveMarker and marker). The moveMarker can be moved by the admin user if so desired.



In the second function, I am trying to call each map marker to get the latitude and longitude information -- assign them to their respective variables and then save these coordinates in my DB.



However, for console.log(moveLat, moveLng) and console.log(lat, lng) -- I am getting two NaN values instead of the desired coordinates.



Any way to fix this?

    Check moveMarker.getPosition().lat/lng on the console first and look at what it spits out. There could be letters in there which parseFloat() couldn't properly evaluate, outputting NaN

Your code is correct. But the value being returned to parseFloat in moveMarker.getPosition().lat may be a string or other value that can't be parsed as a float value.

    Thanks for the tip. I found the error. It should be getPosition().lat() Found it in the reference. developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/…
