Class MBExpression

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Expression, Function
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    MBColor, MBDecision, MBFeatureData, MBHeatmap, MBLookup, MBMath, MBRampsScalesCurves, MBString, MBTypes, MBVariableBinding, MBZoom

    public abstract class MBExpression
    extends FunctionImpl
    The value for any layout property, paint property, or filter may be specified as an expression. An expression defines a formula for computing the value of the property using the operators described below: -Mathematical operators for performing arithmetic and other operations on numeric values -Logical operators for manipulating boolean values and making conditional decisions -String operators for manipulating strings -Data operators, providing access to the properties of source features -Camera operators, providing access to the parameters defining the current map view

    Expressions are represented as JSON arrays. The first element of an expression array is a string naming the expression operator, e.g. "*"or "case". Subsequent elements (if any) are the arguments to the expression. Each argument is either a literal value (a string, number, boolean, or null), or another expression array.
