leaflet-draw delete button remove “clear all” acti

Question

How can I remove the "clear all" action from the delete button in the leaflet-draw edit toolbar?

I know you can remove the whole delete button but still need to remove individual items. Basically looking for a way to prevent the user from deleting every item from the map.

Answer 1

The edit toolbar tests the existence of a removeAllLayers member on the button handler. So, a simple but probably heavy handed way to disable the clear all action is to nuke removeAllLayers on the L.EditToolbar.Delete module:

L.EditToolbar.Delete.include({
    removeAllLayers: false
});

new L.Control.Draw({
    edit: {
        featureGroup: drawnItems
    },
    draw: {
    }
}).addTo(map);

And a demo

var map = L.map(document.getElementById('map'), {zoomControl: false}).setView([48.8583736, 2.2922926], 15);

L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
    attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(map);

var drawnItems = new L.geoJson().addTo(map);

map.on(L.Draw.Event.CREATED, function (event) {
    var layer = event.layer;
    drawnItems.addLayer(layer);
});



L.EditToolbar.Delete.include({
    removeAllLayers: false
});

new L.Control.Draw({
    edit: {
        featureGroup: drawnItems
    },
    draw: {
        polygon: false,
        rectangle: false,
        circlemarker: false
    }
}).addTo(map);

html, body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}
#map {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
