Leaflet Ajax JSON file Add to Map as Overlay -

i have json file not formatted in way meet geojson standards. trying load data parse on map. able create markers data , add them:

$.getjson( tsdata, function ( data ) {                 //loop through data                 $.each( data.response.docs, function ( key, val ) {                     //console.log(val);                     if ( typeof val.mc_geo !== 'undefined' ) {                         //lat lng isn't consitently 1, getting first only.                         var geo = val.mc_geo;                         var glat = geo.tostring().split( ',' )[ 0 ];                         var glng = geo.tostring().split( ',' )[ 1 ];                         //add markers map                         var marker = l.marker( [ glat, glng ],{icon: tsmarker,} ).bindpopup( "<p><strong><a href='" + val.filename + "'>" + val.title + "</a></strong><hr/><br/><strong>abstract:</strong> " + truncatestring( val.abstract, 350 ) + "</p><p><strong>author(s): </strong>" + val.author + "<p><strong>station:</strong> " + val.station_primary_full + "</p>" );                          markerarray.push( marker );                     }                 } );                 layer_group = l.layergroup(markerarray);                 map.addlayer(layer_group);             }); 

this adds marker layers (layer_group) map no problem. however, if try , add them the:

l.control.layers(basemaps, overlaymaps).addto(map); 

i error. basically, l.control.layers not seeing layer_group. can define before getjson call, l.control.layers not show layer full of data though "checked" in layers panel... there no markers displayed.

how dynamically create marker layer group , have control on showing (on / off) in l.control.layers?

it sounds add layer_group layers control while empty ($.getjson works asynchronously), re-assign it, there no longer reference between layers control , markers have instantiated.

2 easy workarounds:

• add layer_group layers control after built: mylayerscontrol.addoverlay(layer_group, "markers")

• use placeholder layer group in layers control, add markers (mylayergroup.addlayer(marker)) or add layer_group @ end (mylayergroup.addlayer(layer_group))
