Sources
A source provides the data that is displayed on a map. Sources are defined by the GL Style Specification.
Vector Tile
src/source/vector_tile_source.ts
A vector tile source. Tiles must be in Vector Tile format. All layers that use a vector source must specify a "source-layer" value. (See the Style Specification for detailed documentation of options.)
Example
Methods
Returns a true if this instance of Evented or any forwarded instances of Evented has a listener for the specified type.
boolean:
true if there is at least one registered listener
for specified event type, false otherwise
Adds a listener to a specified event type.
Parameters
(Function)The
function to be called when the event is fired.
The listener function is called with the data object passed to
fire
,
extended with
target
and
type
properties.
Returns
VectorTileSource
:
thisAdds a listener that will be called only once to a specified event type.
The listener will be called first time the event fires after the listener is registered.
Parameters
Returns
VectorTileSource
:
thisBubble all events fired by this instance of Evented to this parent instance of Evented.
Parameters
(Evented)(any)Returns
VectorTileSource

GeoJSON
A source containing GeoJSON. (See the Style Specification for detailed documentation of options.)
Example
Methods
Responsible for invoking WorkerSource's geojson.loadData target, which handles loading the geojson data and preparing to serve it up as tiles, using geojson-vt or supercluster as appropriate.
Parameters
(Callback<Array<GeoJSON.Feature>>)A
callback to be called when the features are retrieved (
(error, features) => { ... }
).
Returns
Promise<void[]>
For clustered sources, fetches the children of the given cluster on the next zoom level (as an array of GeoJSON features).
Parameters
Returns
Promise<Feature<Geometry,{ [name: string]: any; }>[]>
:
A promise that is resolved when the features are retrieved.
For clustered sources, fetches the zoom at which the given cluster expands.
Parameters
Returns
Promise<number>
:
A promise that is resolved with the zoom number.
For clustered sources, fetches the original points that belong to the cluster (as an array of GeoJSON features).
Parameters
Returns
Promise<Feature<Geometry,{ [name: string]: any; }>[]>
:
A promise that is resolved when the features are retrieved.
Example
Returns a true if this instance of Evented or any forwarded instances of Evented has a listener for the specified type.
boolean:
true if there is at least one registered listener
for specified event type, false otherwise
Adds a listener to a specified event type.
Parameters
(Function)The
function to be called when the event is fired.
The listener function is called with the data object passed to
fire
,
extended with
target
and
type
properties.
Returns
GeoJSONSource
:
thisAdds a listener that will be called only once to a specified event type.
The listener will be called first time the event fires after the listener is registered.
Parameters
Returns
GeoJSONSource
:
thisBubble all events fired by this instance of Evented to this parent instance of Evented.
Parameters
(Evented)(any)Returns
GeoJSONSource
:
thisSets the GeoJSON data and re-renders the map.
Parameters
((Object | string))A
GeoJSON data object or a URL to one. The latter is preferable in the case of large GeoJSON files.
Returns
GeoJSONSource:
this
Updates the source's GeoJSON, and re-renders the map.
For sources with lots of features, this method can be used to make updates more quickly.
This approach requires unique IDs for every feature in the source. The IDs can either be specified on the feature, or by using the promoteId option to specify which property should be used as the ID.
It is an error to call updateData on a source that did not have unique IDs for each of its features already.
Updates are applied on a best-effort basis, updating an ID that does not exist will not result in an error.
Parameters
Returns
GeoJSONSource:
this

Parameters
(Function)The
function to be called when the event is fired.
The listener function is called with the data object passed to
fire
,
extended with
target

properties.
Returns
RasterDEMTileSource
:
thisAdds a listener that will be called only once to a specified event type.
The listener will be called first time the event fires after the listener is registered.

Methods
Returns a true if this instance of Evented or any forwarded instances of Evented has a listener for the specified type.
boolean:
true if there is at least one registered listener

Parameters
(Function)The
function to be called when the event is fired.
The listener function is called with the data object passed to
