Mapbox + custom actions

Hello,I'm having a little trouble with MapBox and Custom Actions.I've initialized my map with a custom action, and it's working.Now I'd like to send data to this map to apply a filter (via a client click).To return the map, we need to use events, right?The problem is that the map keeps reinitializing and creates duplicates if I call ctx.triggerActionEvent("returnMap", mapBox);I tried doing an "if(mapBox) return mapBox;" but that takes the HTML block into account.What's the solution?Thanks in advance!Simon

Hello,

I'm having a little trouble with MapBox and Custom Actions.
I've initialized my map with a custom action, and it's working.

Now I'd like to send data to this map to apply a filter (via a client click).
To return the map, we need to use events, right?
The problem is that the map keeps reinitializing and creates duplicates if I call ctx.triggerActionEvent("returnMap", mapBox);

I tried doing an "if(mapBox) return mapBox;" but that takes the HTML block into account.

What's the solution?

Thanks in advance!

You can attach a custom event listener to the window object in Mapbox init action, and than call it from another custom action. Not sure if there's a better way to approach it

Thanks for your feedback.
Indeed, I made an event listener and it works wonderfully!
