New, Simplified System for Building Map Interactions
Blog post from Mapbox
Mapbox GL JS for web v.3.8 and Mobile Maps SDKs v.11.8 have introduced experimental APIs that simplify the process of creating map interactions, allowing developers to define interactions with both basemap and custom map features using a unified system across platforms. This new approach reduces the amount of code required for map interactions and retains the power of existing APIs, enabling developers to mix annotations with layers while managing interaction order efficiently. The Featuresets API now allows interaction with previously inaccessible basemap features in the Mapbox Standard 3D style, offering developers flexible control over features across different styles. These enhancements can improve user experiences in applications such as real estate searches and navigation, with Mapbox Studio now supporting interactivity styling for basemap and custom map elements. Comprehensive documentation for these features will be released alongside the updated Mobile SDKs and GL JS in early November, with ongoing support and feedback channels available through Mapbox contacts.
