Marker in leaflet, click event

Question

var map = L.map('map');
var marker = L.marker([10.496093,-66.881935]).on('click', onClick);
function onClick(e) {alert(e.latlng);}
marker.addTo(map)

When I do click in the marker, the alert message is: undefined

But if I put it in the variable map, it works! (shows latitude and longitude)

map.on('click', onClick); 

Does someone know why it doesn't work in the marker?

Answer 1

The accepted answer is correct. However, I needed a little bit more clarity, so in case someone else does too:

Leaflet allows events to fire on virtually anything you do on its map, in this case a marker.

So you could create a marker as suggested by the question above:

L.marker([10.496093,-66.881935]).addTo(map).on('mouseover', onClick);

Then create the onClick function:

function onClick(e) {
    alert(this.getLatLng());
}

Now anytime you mouseover that marker it will fire an alert of the current lat/long.

However, you could use 'click', 'dblclick', etc. instead of 'mouseover' and instead of alerting lat/long you can use the body of onClick to do anything else you want:

L.marker([10.496093,-66.881935]).addTo(map).on('click', function(e) {
    console.log(e.latlng);
});
