How to add text to LineString in OpenLayers?


We use OpenLayers 4.6.5.

The code looks as following:

const line = new Feature({
  geometry: new LineString(points)
})
line.setStyle(
  new Style({
    fill: new Fill({ color: 'black' }),
    stroke: new Stroke({ color: 'black', width: 2 }),
    text: new Text({
      text: '1',
      font: '18px "Roboto", Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif',
      fill: new Fill({ color: 'black' }),
      stroke: new Stroke({ color: 'black', width: 2 })
    })
  })
)

this.vectorLayer.getSource().addFeature(line)

But, I'm getting the error:

Uncaught TypeError: textStyle.getFill is not a function
at _ol_render_canvas_TextReplay_.setTextStyle (textreplay.js?3128:470)
at _ol_renderer_vector_.renderLineStringGeometry_ (vector.js?98c2:183)

at _ol_Map_._ol_PluggableMap_.renderFrame_ (pluggablemap.js?0fa0:1180)
at _ol_Map_.eval (pluggablemap.js?0fa0:87)      

Without text settings, there is no error, just a line.


Solution

  • To work correctly Text needs to have been imported correctly, for example

    import {Text} from 'ol/style';
    

    or

    import Text from 'ol/style/Text';
