clickMapObject method in amCharts V4 maps












1















I need a hand to find a way to to replicate the following functionality from amcharts v3 in v4 without success:



In V3: map.clickMapObject(map.getObjectById('CA'));
In V4: chart.METHOD???(polygonSeries.getPolygonById("CA"))



What I'm looking to achieve here is to open the area modal from a click on an element outside the map.



Thank you

          In v4 you would assign a hit event (our Events guide) on the polygonSeries.mapPolygons.template, e.g.:



          // Open modal on click
          polygonTemplate.events.on("hit", function(event) {
          // chart.closeAllPopups(); // <-- if using an amCharts Popup
          chart.openModal(
          "The id for " +
          event.target.dataItem.dataContext.name +
          " is <strong>" +
          event.target.dataItem.dataContext.id +
          "</strong>."
          );
          // if using an amCharts popup, replace openModal with openPopup
          });


          Wasn't sure what was meant by area modal, so I showed how to use amCharts' Modal in the code and in comments is a way to use amCharts' Popups. Here's our guide on Popups and Modals: https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/concepts/popups-and-modals/



          To trigger an event you coulde use the object's dispatch or dispatchImmediately methods. So you were spot on with polygonSeries.getPolygonById("CA"). It would look something like polygonSeries.getPolygonById("CA").dispatchImmediately("hit"), e.g.:



          // External button that interacts with map, triggers click event of a MapPolygon
          var $button = document.getElementById("external-interaction");
          chart.events.on("inited", function(event) {
          $button.style.display = "inline-block";
          $button.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
          event.preventDefault();
          polygonSeries.getPolygonById("CA").dispatchImmediately("hit");
          });
          });


          Here's a demo with all that thrown together:
