Find features at a point

Query the map for rendered features belonging to a specific layer.

import MapboxMaps

final class ViewController: UIViewController {
private var cancelables = Set<AnyCancelable>()
private var mapView: MapView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

// Center the map over the United States.
let centerCoordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 39.368279,
longitude: -97.646484)

mapView = MapView(frame: view.bounds, mapInitOptions: options)

view.addSubview(mapView)

// Allows the view controller to receive information about map events.

// Create a new GeoJSON data source which gets its data from an external URL.
var geoJSONSource = GeoJSONSource(id: "US-states-vector-source")
geoJSONSource.data = .string("https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/assets/us_states.geojson")

// Create a new fill layer associated with the data source.
var fillLayer = FillLayer(id: "US-states", source: geoJSONSource.id)
fillLayer.sourceLayer = "state_county_population_2014_cen"

// Apply basic styling to the fill layer.
fillLayer.fillColor = .constant(StyleColor(.blue))

// Add the data source and style layer to the map.
