Layers

A style's layers property lists all 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, heatmap, hillshade. 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.

Layer properties

filter

Optional expression.

An expression specifying conditions of source features. Only features that match the filter are displayed. Zoom expressions in filters are only evaluated at integer zoom levels. The feature-state expression is not supported in filter expressions.

id

Required string.

Unique layer name.

layout

Optional layout.

Layout properties for the layer.

maxzoom

Optional number between 0 and 24 inclusive.

The maximum zoom level for the layer. At zoom levels equal to or greater than the maxzoom, the layer will be hidden. Please note the maxzoom specified should belong to [0, 24].

metadata

Optional object.

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

minzoom

Optional number between 0 and 24 inclusive.

The minimum zoom level for the layer. At zoom levels less than the minzoom, the layer will be hidden. Please note the minzoom specified should belong to [0, 24].

paint

Optional paint.

Default paint properties for this layer.

source

Optional string.

Name of a source description to be used for this layer. Required for all layer types except background.

source-layer

Optional string.

Layer to use from a vector tile source. Required for vector tile sources; prohibited for all other source types, including GeoJSON sources.

type

Required enum.

Rendering type of this layer. Should belong to one of the following:

fill: A filled polygon with an optional stroked border
line: A stroked line
symbol: An icon or a text label
circle: A filled circle
heatmap: A heatmap
fill-extrusion: An extruded 3D polygon
raster: Raster map textures such as satellite imagery
hillshade: Client-side hillshading visualization based on DEM data. Currently, the implementation only supports Mapbox Terrain RGB and Mapzen terrarium tiles.
background: The background color or pattern of the map.

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. Changes to a layout property require an asynchronous "layout" step.
Paint properties are applied later in the rendering process. Paint properties appear in the layer's "paint" object. Changes to a Paint Property are cheap and happen synchronously.

Let’s take a look at the various attributes available for these properties.
