ng-map change the color of the shape dynamically

Question

I'm using NgMap and angular 1 to display a google map, and draw various shapes on it. I'm trying to change the color of the shape dynamically, by changing a scope variable.

In the template I have:

<shape id="circle" name="circle" fill-color='{{circle.color}}' stroke-color='{{circle.color}}' stroke-opacity="0.8" stroke-weight="2" center="[41,-87]" radius="4000" editable="false">
</shape>

and in the controller I create an object:

function CircleColorTestController($scope, $interval) {
    $scope.circle = {
        color: '#00FF00'
    };

    var colors = ['#FF0000', '#00FF00', '#0000FF'];
    var i = 0;

    $interval(function() {
        $scope.circle.color = colors[i];
        console.log('Changing color to: ' + $scope.circle.color);
        ++i;
        if (i > 2) {
            i = 0;
        }
    }, 1000);
}

The color of the circle should change every second, but it remains green. Is it even possible with NgMap? Is it a bug?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It might be possible that fill-color is not an angularjs directive that's why it not provide real time binding with scope variable.

Here is alternative way to create functionality that you want

angular.module('app', ['ngMap'])
  .controller('CircleColorTestController', CircleColorTestController);

CircleColorTestController.$inject = ['$scope', '$interval'];

function CircleColorTestController($scope, $interval) {
  $scope.circle = {
    color: 'red'
  };
  var colors = ['#FF0000', '#00FF00', '#0000FF'];
  var i = 0;
  $interval(function() {
    $scope.circle.visible = colors[i];
    ++i;
    if (i > 2) {
      i = 0;
    }
  }, 1000);
}
