LeafletJs - Error: attempting to assign a value to property 'L' which is currently undefined

In my AngularJS project (Version 1.5.8), I have been utilizing LeafletJs as a map feature. Initially, I was using the unpkg.com URL, but I recently made the switch to locally downloaded code for various reasons, one of them being offline functionality.

However, after loading the script in the index.html file, I encountered the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'L' of undefined

Upon investigating the source code, the error seems to originate at the beginning of the Javascript:

(function (global, factory) {
    typeof exports === 'object' && typeof module !== 'undefined' ? factory(exports) :
    typeof define === 'function' && define.amd ? define(['exports'], factory) :
    (factory((global.L = {}))); // This line triggers the error.
}(this, (function (exports) { 'use strict';
// The entire Leaflet code would follow here.

Further testing revealed that global is being recognized as undefined.

Despite not yet invoking Leaflet, simply having this script present leads to the aforementioned error persisting. It appears to be related to Angular more than anything else, and I am seeking assistance in resolving this issue.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance provided. Thank you.

Answer №1

After some troubleshooting, I believe I have resolved the issue at hand. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the global variable was initially set as undefined. By adjusting it to its intended default value (in this case, a Window object), the problem seems to have been rectified.

(function (global = Window, factory) {
    typeof exports === 'object' && typeof module !== 'undefined' ? factory(exports) :
    typeof define === 'function' && define.amd ? define(['exports'], factory) :
    (factory((global.L = {}))); // The line causing the error has now been fixed.
}(this, (function (exports) { 'use strict';
// This is where the entire Leaflet code would be located.

The adjustment of setting global = Window instead of (factory((Window.L = {}))); ensures that the program will still utilize the user's window information if it is not undefined. From my end, everything appears to be functioning correctly for the task at hand.
