Hi,
I add markers this way:

markers = []
#Tooltip
TooltipOrientation = 'auto' #top,bottom etc
TooltipView = {'params':{},'path':'path_to_tooltip_view'}#params which are defined on the path_to_tooltip_view. If You have some, so the code have to be: 'params':{'first_param':value_of_the_first_param,'second_param':value_of_the_second_param}
tooltip = {'enabled':True,'content':{'text':'Tooltip Tittle','view':TooltipView},'direction':TooltipOrientation,'permanent':False,'sticky':False,'opacity':1}
#Marker PopUp
MarkerView = {'params':{},'path':'path_to_marker_view'}#params which are defined on the path_to_marker_view
content = {'text':'PopUp text','view':MarkerView}
pan = {'auto':True}
width = {'max':300,'min':50}
height = {'max':300}
IconClasses = {'classes':''}
icon = {'path':'material/place','color':'(0,0,0)','size':{'width':30,'height':30},'style':IconClasses}
popup = {'enabled':False,'content':content,'pan':pan,'closeButton':False,'autoclose':False,'closeOnEscapeKey':False,'closeOnClick':True,'width':width,'height':height}
#Marker
markers.append({'popup':popup,'name':'New Marker','lat':float(59.252521),'lng':float(24.020222),'opacity':1,'icon':icon,'tooltip':tooltip})
self.getSibling("Map").props.layers.ui.marker = markers

I edited my code above, so try one more time please. There was a little mistake)

and… as a result You will get nothing until You put these markers to Your map element

Do You know how to do it?

Probably by setting this to the markers you already have

markers = self.getSibling("Map").props.layers.ui.marker

for sure) thanx)
but when I use loops, so I use temporary variable markers = [], and then I send them to map

10

array.extend(array) probaly should work too
self.getSibling("Map").props.layers.ui.marker.extend(markers)

i dont think this is a good idea tho, as it might keep appending more and more…
idk the usecase, maybe thats what you want…
but i would defining your custom markers in a custom prop and then add them both up into the property

view prop with the predefined static markers
view.custom.staticMarkers = [...]
and then in the script
self.getSibling("Map").props.layers.ui.marker = view.custom.staticMarkers + markers

He asked how to add markers via script
He did't specify what he wants to get in the end as a Result.
There's no exact task)

12

Thats why it was a suggestion :slight_smile:

i would define the 7 markers somewhere else and then combine them like so
self.getSibling("Map").props.layers.ui.marker = view.custom.staticMarkers + markers

13

I get it now. sorry for misunderstanding from my side

Yeah thats why i said its best to split them up so you know which were added xd

Thank you for the script.
I updated the locations from the database. When I add more locations to DB, the same mark is being updated with the new location. how do we keep the previous marker and create a new marker with the new location?
