import { SymbolLayer } from '@rnmapbox/maps';
SymbolLayerSymbolLayer is a style layer that renders icon and text labels at points or along lines on the map.
stringrequired A string that uniquely identifies the source in the style to which it is added.
booleanThe id refers to en existing layer in the style. Does not create a new layer.
stringThe source from which to obtain the data to style. If the source has not yet been added to the current style, the behavior is undefined. Inferred from parent source only if the layer is a direct child to it.
defaults to: Mapbox.StyleSource.DefaultSourceID
stringIdentifier of the layer within the source identified by the sourceID property from which the receiver obtains the data to style.
stringInserts a layer above aboveLayerID.
stringInserts a layer below belowLayerID
numberInserts a layer at a specified index
FilterExpressionFilter only the features in the source layer that satisfy a condition that you define
numberThe minimum zoom level at which the layer gets parsed and appears.
numberThe maximum zoom level at which the layer gets parsed and appears.
'bottom' | 'middle' | 'top'The slot this layer is assigned to. If specified, and a slot with that name exists, it will be placed at that position in the layer order.

SymbolLayerStylePropsrequired Customizable style attributes
JSX.Element | JSX.Element[]@deprecated passed children used to create an image with id of symbol in style and also set the iconImageName property accordingly. This is now deprecated, use Image component instead.

Name: symbolPlacement
Mapbox spec: symbol-placement
Label placement relative to its geometry.
enum
point
point - The label is placed at the point where the geometry is located.
line - The label is placed along the line of the geometry. Can only be used on LineString and Polygon geometries.
line-center - The label is placed at the center of the line of the geometry. Can only be used on LineString and Polygon geometries. Note that a single feature in a vector tile may contain multiple line geometries.
Parameters: zoom
Name: symbolSpacing
Mapbox spec: symbol-spacing
Distance between two symbol anchors.
number
250
pixels
1
Parameters: zoom
Name: symbolAvoidEdges
Mapbox spec: symbol-avoid-edges
If true, the symbols will not cross tile edges to avoid mutual collisions. Recommended in layers that don't have enough padding in the vector tile to prevent collisions, or if it is a point symbol layer placed after a line symbol layer. When using a client that supports global collision detection, like Mapbox GL JS version 0.42.0 or greater, enabling this property is not needed to prevent clipped labels at tile boundaries.
boolean
false
Parameters: zoom
Name: symbolSortKey
Mapbox spec: symbol-sort-key
Sorts features in ascending order based on this value. Features with lower sort keys are drawn and placed first. When iconAllowOverlap or textAllowOverlap is false, features with a lower sort key will have priority during placement. When iconAllowOverlap or textAllowOverlap is set to true, features with a higher sort key will overlap over features with a lower sort key.
number
Parameters: zoom, feature
Name: symbolZOrder
Mapbox spec: symbol-z-order
Determines whether overlapping symbols in the same layer are rendered in the order that they appear in the data source or by their yPosition relative to the viewport. To control the order and prioritization of symbols otherwise, use symbolSortKey.
enum
auto
auto - Sorts symbols by symbol-sort-key if set. Otherwise, sorts symbols by their y-position relative to the viewport if icon-allow-overlap or text-allow-overlap is set to true or icon-ignore-placement or text-ignore-placement is false.
viewport-y - Sorts symbols by their y-position relative to the viewport if icon-allow-overlap or text-allow-overlap is set to true or icon-ignore-placement or text-ignore-placement is false.
source - Sorts symbols by symbol-sort-key if set. Otherwise, no sorting is applied; symbols are rendered in the same order as the source data.
Parameters: zoom
Name: iconAllowOverlap
Mapbox spec: icon-allow-overlap
If true, the icon will be visible even if it collides with other previously drawn symbols.
boolean
false
iconImage
Parameters: zoom
Name: iconIgnorePlacement

boolean
false
iconImage
Parameters: zoom

textField
Parameters: zoom
Name: textWritingMode
Mapbox spec: text-writing-mode
The property allows control over a symbol's orientation. Note that the property values act as a hint, so that a symbol whose language doesn’t support the provided orientation will be laid out in its natural orientation. Example: English point symbol will be rendered horizontally even if array value contains single 'vertical' enum value. For symbol with point placement, the order of elements in an array define priority order for the placement of an orientation variant. For symbol with line placement, the default text writing mode is either ['horizontal', 'vertical'] or ['vertical', 'horizontal'], the order doesn't affect the placement.
