Drawing a rectangle using leaflet.draw library doesn't work (it throws error in console).

[abhi5057]

• I'm reporting a bug, not asking for help
• I've looked at the documentation to make sure the behaviour is documented and expected
• I'm sure this is a Leaflet Draw code issue, not an issue with my own code nor with the framework I'm using (Cordova, Ionic, Angular, React…)
• I've searched through the issues to make sure it's not yet reported

---

How to reproduce

• Leaflet version I'm using: 1.9.4
• Leaflet Draw version I'm using: 1.0.4
• Browser (with version) I'm using: Chrome
• OS/Platform (with version) I'm using: Windows
• step 1: Try to set up leaflet library in a basic js project and enable rectangle option.
• step 2: Try drawing rectangle by choosing the rectangle option from the control.
• step 3: Click on a point and try dragging the cursor to create a rectangle.

What behaviour I'm expecting and which behaviour I'm seeing

Expectation: I should've been able to create a rectangle by clicking and dragging the cursor.
Observation: We're unable to drag the cursor to create a rectangle.

Minimal example reproducing the issue

• this example is as simple as possible
• this example does not rely on any third party code

The issue is seen in readableArea function in leaflet.draw's code base.
There's a wrong reference to type variable and hence we see the issue.

		readableArea: function (area, isMetric, precision) {
			var areaStr,
				units,
				precision = L.Util.extend({}, defaultPrecision, precision);

			if (isMetric) {
				units = ['ha', 'm'];
				type = typeof isMetric;
				if (type === 'string') {
					units = [isMetric];
				} else if (type !== 'boolean') {
					units = isMetric;
				}

Instead if we change to this.type in all the 3 references to type variable here, then we're able to draw rectangle, however we're unable to see its area while creating the rectangle though.

我也遇到了这个问题，请问解决了吗

We need explicit declaration of the "type" variable, try this -

    readableArea: function (area, isMetric, precision) {
    	var areaStr, units, precision = L.Util.extend({}, defaultPrecision, precision);
            var type = typeof isMetric;   // <----- here
    
    	if (isMetric) {
    		units = ['ha', 'm'];
    		if (type === 'string') {
    			units = [isMetric];
    		} else if (type !== 'boolean') {
    			units = isMetric;
    		}
