Layers¶

A style’s layers property lists all of the layers available in that style. The type of layer is specified by the "type" property, and must be one of background, fill, line, symbol, raster, circle, fill-extrusion.

Except for layers of the background type, each layer needs to refer to a source. Layers take the data that they get from a source, optionally filter features, and then define how those features are styled.

"layers": [
  {
    "id": "water",
    "source": "sf:roads",
    "source-layer": "water",
    "type": "fill",
    "paint": {
      "fill-color": "#00ffff"
    }
  }
]

Layer Properties¶

id¶

Required String.

Unique layer name.

type¶

Optional Enum. One of fill, line, symbol, circle, fill-extrusion, raster, background.

Rendering type of this layer.

fill: A filled polygon with an optional stroked border.
line: A stroked line.
symbol: An icon or a text label.
circle: A filled circle.
fill-extrusion: An extruded (3D) polygon.
raster: Raster map textures such as satellite imagery.
background: The background color or pattern of the map.

metadata¶

Optional

Arbitrary properties useful to track with the layer, but do not influence rendering. Properties should be prefixed to avoid collisions, like mapbox:.

source¶

Optional String.

Name of a source description to be used for this layer.

source-layer¶

Optional String.

Layer to use from a vector tile source. Required if the source supports multiple layers.

`minzoom`¶

Optional Number.

The minimum zoom level on which the layer gets parsed and appears on.

`maxzoom`¶

Optional Number.

The maximum zoom level on which the layer gets parsed and appears on.

filter¶

Optional Expression.

A expression specifying conditions on source features. Only features that match the filter are displayed.

other filter `has`/`!has`	>= 0.19.0	>= 17.1	>= 2.4.0

layout¶

layout properties for the layer

paint¶

Optional paint properties for the layer

Layers have two sub-properties that determine how data from that layer is rendered: layout and paint properties.

Layout properties appear in the layer’s "layout" object. They are applied early in the rendering process and define how data for that layer is passed to the GPU. For efficiency, a layer can share layout properties with another layer via the "ref" layer property, and should do so where possible. This will decrease processing time and allow the two layers will share GPU memory and other resources associated with the layer.

Paint properties are applied later in the rendering process. A layer that shares layout properties with another layer can have independent paint properties. Paint properties appear in the layer’s "paint" object.
