Events and event types
Map and other Mapbox GL JS classes emit events in response to user interactions or changes in state. Evented is the interface used to bind and unbind listeners for these events. This page describes the different types of events that Mapbox GL JS can raise.
You can learn more about the originating events here:
Mapevents fire when a user interacts with aMap.Markerevents fire when a user interacts with aMarker.Popupevents fire when a user interacts with aPopup.GeolocationControlevents fire when a user interacts with aGeolocationControl.
Evented
src/util/evented.tsEvented mixes methods into other classes for event capabilities.
Unless you are developing a plugin you will most likely use these methods through classes like Map or Popup.
For lists of events you can listen for, see API documentation for specific classes: Map, Marker, Popup, and GeolocationControl.

dataType(( | The type of data that has changed. One of
'source'
or
