Leaflet – How to Stop Event Propagation on Right-click Marker

eventsleafletmarkers

I didn't find a rightclick event in Leaflet markers so I started listening to the mousedown event. In the method that resolves this event I check 

if (event.originalEvent.button == 2) {
    do_something();
    // now i want to stop propagation of the rightclick
    return;
}

This does work in that do_something() is called, but the event propagates to the map and a contextmenu is being shown. How do I prevent the event to propagate to the map?

Does this work in all major (i.e. IE) browsers?

Try this internal function:

L.DomEvent.stopPropagation(event);

It should do the trick.

P.S. I never found that in any documentation but saw it used in a patch. Use at your own risk. ;)

Edit: I also found this internal function

L.DomEvent.preventDefault(event);

Which seems to be very much the same as event.preventDefault() which is in jQuery.
