Does anybody know of an equivalent to the Leaflet L.layerGroup
in Mapbox GL JS? I can do this in leaflet:
var layerGroup = L.layerGroup().addTo(map);
And then if I want to add, say, a marker to the layer group, I can do
L.marker([50.5, 30.5]).addTo(layerGroup);
The functionality I am really trying to get is the ability to remove and add back these layers. In leaflet you can do
// remove the layer from the map
map.removeLayer(layerGroup)
// re-add the layer to the map
layerGroup.addTo(map)
// clear all layers without removing from the map
layerGroup.clearLayers()
However in Mapbox GL JS I haven't found a functionality or a plugin that does something similar to this. When you want to add something to the map in Mapbox, you can do .addTo(map)
, so it seems to me there is probably a feature where you can create a layer group and do .addTo(layerGroup)
.
It might not be exactly how I envision it here, but right now I have nothing.
