Events: so when the style loaded and ready to draw?

[korywka]

For now we have style.load event which is not public.

We are supposed to use styledata.

Lets take this example: https://bravecow.github.io/mapbox-gl-controls/

1. We want to add our own layers. If we use style.load, our layers are rendered faster, because load event is fired at the end:

styledata
style.load <-- we CAN render our layers here (at least it works and looks faster than "load" event)
styledata
styledata
load

Okay, we can use load event here and render them with some delay. At least it works.

2. But it worse if we want to render same layers after style is changed. Please, use Ruler Control and switch style by Style Control. We want to preserve the same Ruler state. Events log:

styledata
style.load
styledata
styledata

Only style.load event is fired once. How we can use public styledata event here without some setTimeout hacks to draw layers again?

Thanks ❤️

3. Also, if you use Language Control to modify style, styledata event is called. But this action doesn't clear our own layers (like after Style Control) and we don't want here to redraw them. So by using styledata event in this case, we will have redundant redraw.

Try using the event "idle" and if it isn't triggered use panTo to recenter.
That way you are triggering 'idle' event to listen
This is the most reliable workaround so far for me.
