Why do you need that? What does it fix?

[skydiablo]

that allow me to add a kml with an layer-control with layer-name. by now, kml-folder-names are missing. or i'm wrong?

[skydiablo]

like this:

    fetch('URL')
        .then(res => res.text())
        .then(kmltext => {
            // Create new kml overlay
            const parser = new DOMParser();
            const kml = parser.parseFromString(kmltext, 'text/xml');
            const layers = new L.KML(kml);
            map.on('layeradd', eventLayerAdd);
            map.addLayer(layers);
        });

    const eventLayerAdd = function (e) {
        if (e.layer.options) {
            let name = e.layer.options.name;
            if (name) {
                if (!layerControl._getLayer(L.stamp(e.layer))) { //already added ?
                    layerControl.addOverlay(e.layer, name);
                }
            }
        }
    }

Ok, it makes sense. Thank you for the details. And the result from L.stamp cannot be used instead of the name?

[skydiablo]

the result from L.stamp is just a number, how do you want to get the name?

[mdorda]

I mean, if you need just an identificator, L.stamp may work. But if you need (for some reason) name and nothing more than name, your merge request makes sense.

[skydiablo]

on the other hand, is there any (for me unknown) workflow to get the folder-name from the KML?

[skydiablo]

thx, in the near future, we should recheck this feature. so many other objects have an name tag. see reference, like:

• Placemark
• Folder
• NetworkLink

so we can abstract this lines into a higher order to handle all of this objects...
