Configuration

Editable layers need to be configured.

Edit Modes​

The primary way of configuring editable layers is to provide a list of edit modes. Editable layers accept EditModes that provide a way of specifying what user interactions are supported in order to:

  • create and manipulate GeoJSON features and geometries.
  • select and duplicate geometries.
  • measure geometries
  • create custom reusable interactions

A range of Edit Modes are provided by the @deck.gl-community/editable-layers module, and applications can also define custom edit modes.

Some examples of provided edit modes are:

  • ViewMode - No edits are possible, but selection is still possible.
  • DuplicateMode - User can duplicate and translate a feature by clicking selected feature and dragging anywhere on the screen.
  • CompositeMode - Use CompositeMode to combine multiple modes. Not all combinations are guaranteed to work.
