I am migrating map markers to AdvancedMarkerElement and I want to add custom properties to AdvancedMarkerElement.
Like this:
new AdvancedMarkerElement({
map: this.map,
position: data.position,
dataWHD: data.data,
})
This produces the following error:
Unknown property 'dataWHD' of AdvancedMarkerElement
How can I do this?
You can't add custom properties directly to the AdvancedMarkerElement constructor.
Instead, you can transfer your custom properties via the AdvancedMarkerElement content property so you can build your own markers with whatever data you need.
Below is an example from the official documentation.
