Source

The Source interface must be implemented by each source type, including “core” types (vector, raster, video, etc.) and all custom, third-party types.

Event data - Fired with {dataType: 'source', sourceDataType: 'metadata'} to indicate that any necessary metadata has been loaded so that it’s okay to call loadTile; and with {dataType: 'source', sourceDataType: 'content'} to indicate that the source data has changed, so that any current caches should be flushed.

Methods

abortTile()?

optional abortTile(tile: Tile): Promise<void>

Allows to abort a tile loading.

Parameters

Returns

Promise<void>

fire()

fire(event: Event): unknown

An ability to fire an event to all the listeners, see Evented

Parameters

Returns

unknown

hasTile()?

optional hasTile(tileID: OverscaledTileID): boolean

True is the tile is part of the source, false otherwise.

Parameters

Returns

boolean

hasTransition()

hasTransition(): boolean

True if the source has transition, false otherwise.

Returns

boolean

loadTile()

loadTile(tile: Tile): Promise<void>

This method does the heavy lifting of loading a tile. In most cases it will defer the work to the relevant worker source.

Parameters

Returns

Promise<void>

loaded()

loaded(): boolean

True if the source is loaded, false otherwise.

Returns

boolean

onAdd()?

optional onAdd(map: Map): void

This method is called when the source is added to the map.

Parameters

Returns

void

onRemove()?

optional onRemove(map: Map): void

This method is called when the source is removed from the map.

Parameters

Returns

void

prepare()?

optional prepare(): void

Allows to execute a prepare step before the source is used.

Returns

void

serialize()

serialize(): any

Returns

any

A plain (stringifiable) JS object representing the current state of the source. Creating a source using the returned object as the options should result in a Source that is equivalent to this one.

unloadTile()?

optional unloadTile(tile: Tile): Promise<void>

Allows to unload a tile.

Parameters

Returns

Promise<void>

Properties

attribution?

optional attribution: string

The attribution for the source.

id

id: string

The id for the source. Must not be used by any existing source.

isTileClipped?

optional isTileClipped: boolean

false if tiles can be drawn outside their boundaries, true if they cannot.

maxzoom

maxzoom: number

The maximum zoom level for the source.

minzoom

minzoom: number

The minimum zoom level for the source.

reparseOverscaled?

optional reparseOverscaled: boolean

true if tiles should be sent back to the worker for each overzoomed zoom level, false if not.

roundZoom?

optional roundZoom: boolean

true if zoom levels are rounded to the nearest integer in the source data, false if they are floor-ed to the nearest integer.

tileSize

tileSize: number

The tile size for the source.
