Elements


The Felt SDK lets you read, create and update elements on the map.

Elements that are created via the SDK are only available to the current session - they are not persisted to the map and not available to other users of the map.

If you want to let your users create elements (as opposed to using the SDK to create them programmatically), you can use the ToolsController to select and configure the drawing tools in Felt.

ImageElementRead


Properties

id

id: string

The unique identifier for the element.


groupId

groupId: null | string

The ID of the element group that the element belongs to. For elements that are not part of a group, this will be null.


name

name: null | string

The element's name. For elements that can show a label or text on the map (e.g. a Place or Text element) this is the text that will be shown.

For elements such as Polygons or Paths, the name is what is shown when the element is selected by clicking on it.


description

description: null | string

Text describing the element, which is shown in an element's popup when it is selected.

Note that some elements are not selectable on the map, such as Notes, Text and Markers, so their description will not be shown.


attributes

attributes: Record<string, unknown>

A set of key-value pairs that can be used to store arbitrary data about the element.

This is most useful for associating additional data with an element that is not part of the element's core data, such as a Place's address or some other data.

imageUrl

imageUrl: string

The URL of the image that is rendered in this element


opacity

opacity: number

The opacity of the image, between 0 and 1.

Default


interaction?

optional interaction: "default" | "locked"

Whether the element is interactive.

The default interaction mode means that the element can be selected and edited by the user, if it was created by the SDK or by the user using a tool.

If the interaction mode is locked, the element will not be editable by the user, which is often used for elements that you don't want the user to edit or move by accident.

Elements that were created by the map author (i.e. not during an SDK "session") are not editable and have special behaviour depending on their name, description and attributes.

Default

GetLayerHistogramBin


One bin from the response from the method.

Properties

isBeingCreated

isBeingCreated: boolean

Whether or not this element is still being created by a drawing tool.

For example, if the user begins drawing a polygon, they need to place multiple points until they've ultimately completed the polygon. All the time they are still placing points, this will be true.

For elements that require text entry (such as Places, Text and Notes) this will be true all the time the user is typing text until the point at which the user finishes, by pressing Escape for example.

If the user is editing an existing element, this will be false.

For elements that are created programatically, this will be false.

const filter = [
  ["AREA", "gt", 30_000],
  "and",
  ["COLOR", "eq", "red"]
]

// A complex filter with multiple conditions

  • Show all building types in a city, but only count recent buildings in each type

  • Keep all neighborhood categories but only sum up residential square footage

Unlike top-level filters which affect both what categories appear AND their values, filters in this configuration only affect the values while keeping all possible categories in the results.

GeometryFilter

The common type for filtering data by a spatial boundary.

This can be either:

  • FeltBoundary: a [w, s, e, n] bounding box

LayerCommon


The common properties for all layers.

Properties

id

id: string

A string identifying the layer


groupId

groupId: null | string

The ID of the layer group that the layer belongs to.

Layers that appear at the root level in Felt will not have a group ID.

caption

caption: null | string

The layer's caption is shown in the legend.


description

description: null | string

The layer description forms part of the layer's metadata. This is visible to users via the layer info button in the legend.


visible

visible: boolean

Whether the layer is visible or not.


shownInLegend

shownInLegend: boolean

Whether the layer is shown in the legend or not.


style

style: object

The FSL style for the layer.

See the for details on how to read and write styles.

As the types of the styles are very complex, we return object here and advise that you program defensively while reading the styles.


status

status: "processing" | "completed" | "failed" | "incomplete"

The current processing status of the layer.


bounds

bounds: null | [number, number, number, number]

The bounding box of the layer in [west, south, east, north] order

There are cases where the bounds are not available, such as for layers added to the map from URL sources, as these are not (depending on their type) processed and analyzed by Felt.

LayerFeature


A LayerFeature is a single geographical item in a layer.

It is intended to be a lightweight object that contains the properties of a feature, but not the geometry. It is returned by methods like and , and as part of the methods in the

The geometry can be obtained via the method, which returns a object.

Properties

id

id: string | number

The identifier of the feature, unique within the layer.

geometryType

geometryType: "Polygon" | "MultiPolygon" | "LineString" | "MultiLineString" | "Point" | "MultiPoint" | string & {}

The type of geometry of the feature.

Remarks

Because LayerFeatures can be read from tiled features, it's possible that this geometryType won't match the geometry.type of the returned by .

For example, this may return LineString but the full feature is a MultiLineString, or, similarly Polygon here may be a MultiPolygon in the full feature.

As a result, you should treat this property as being indicative only.


bbox

bbox: undefined | [number, number, number, number]

The bounding box of the feature.

Remarks

Because LayerFeatures can be read from tiled features and considering that feature geometry can go through multiple tiles, it's possible that this is not the complete bounding box of the feature.

A single attribute from the layer schema.

Remarks

Each feature in a layer has a set of attributes, and these types describe the structure of a single attribute, including things like id, display name, type, and sample values.

Main


Use the object to embed a new iframe, or connect to an existing embedded iframe.

Once you have connected to a Felt map (either by embedding or connecting to an existing iframe), you can use the object to control the map.

To see what you can do with the map, see the documentation for the interface and its constituent controllers.

"rgb(255, 0, 0)";
"hsl(200, 100%, 50%)";

Default

"#C93535"

name

name: null | string

The element's name. For elements that can show a label or text on the map (e.g. a Place or Text element) this is the text that will be shown.

For elements such as Polygons or Paths, the name is what is shown when the element is selected by clicking on it.


description

description: null | string

Text describing the element, which is shown in an element's popup when it is selected.

Note that some elements are not selectable on the map, such as Notes, Text and Markers, so their description will not be shown.


attributes

attributes: Record<string, unknown>

A set of key-value pairs that can be used to store arbitrary data about the element.

This is most useful for associating additional data with an element that is not part of the element's core data, such as a Place's address or some other data.


type

type: "Marker"


opacity

opacity: number

The opacity of the marker, between 0 and 1.

Default

1

Filters


Filters: | | null | boolean

Filters can be used to change which features in a layer are rendered. Filters can be applied to a layer by the method on the Felt controller.

Filters use a tree structure for combining expressions with logical operators, called a. When combining three or more conditions, you must use proper nesting rather than a flat list.

See the examples below for the correct structure to use when building complex filters.

Remarks

The possible operators are:

  • lt: Less than

  • gt: Greater than

  • le: Less than or equal to

  • ge: Greater than or equal to

  • eq: Equal to

  • ne: Not equal to

  • cn: Contains

  • nc: Does not contain

The allowed boolean operators are:

  • and: Logical AND

  • or: Logical OR

Layers


Layers in a Felt map hold geospatial data, but also configure how the data is rendered both on the map and in the legend. The data can be vector data such as Points, Lines, or Polygons, or raster data such as satellite images.

Each Layer can be grouped under a LayerGroup, and has associated LegendItems that represent how the layer is rendered in the legend.

You can control the visibility of layers, layer groups, and legend items using the`setLayerVisibility`, `setLayerGroupVisibility`, and `setLegendItemVisibility` methods.

When a Layer is styled to as categorical data or "classed" numeric data, there will be a LegendItem for each category or class. Each LegendItem can be controlled for visibility independently of the Layer, so you can turn on and off each category or class individually.

The style of the element's stroke.

Default


type

type: "Circle"


radius

radius: number

The radius of the circle in meters.


radiusMarker

radiusMarker: boolean

Whether to show a marker on the circle that indicates the radius

Default


radiusDisplayAngle

radiusDisplayAngle: number

The angle at which the control point for setting the radius is displayed, in degrees. When the radiusMarker is true, there is a dotted line rendered from the center of the circle to the control point, and the marker is shown at the midpoint of this line.

Default


radiusDisplayUnit

radiusDisplayUnit: null | "meter" | "kilometer" | "foot" | "mile"

The unit of the radius used when the radiusMarker is true.

A value of null means that the unit matches the user's locale.

fillOpacity: number

The opacity of the circle's fill.

Default


center

center:

The center of the circle.


interaction?

optional interaction: "default" | "locked"

Whether the element is interactive.

The default interaction mode means that the element can be selected and edited by the user, if it was created by the SDK or by the user using a tool.

If the interaction mode is locked, the element will not be editable by the user, which is often used for elements that you don't want the user to edit or move by accident.

Elements that were created by the map author (i.e. not during an SDK "session") are not editable and have special behaviour depending on their name, description and attributes.

Default

TextElementRead

ElementsController


The Elements controller allows you to get information about the elements on the map, and make changes to their visibility.

Extended by

  • FeltController

Methods

getElement()

getElement(id: string): Promise<null | Element>

Get a single element from the map by its id.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

id

string

The id of the element you want to get.

Returns

Promise<null | Element>

The requested element.

Example

const element = await felt.getElement("element-1");

getElementGeometry()

getElementGeometry(id: string): Promise<null | GeoJsonGeometry>

Get the geometry of an element in GeoJSON geometry format.

For most element types, the geometry returned is based on the coordinates property of the element, with some differences:

  • For Circle elements, the geometry is a Polygon drawn from the center andradius properties.

  • Path elements become MultiLineString geometries.

  • Marker elements return a MultiLineString of the path traced by the user as they drew the marker. Note that this is not the polygon formed by filled-in "pen" stroke, which doesn't exactly follow the path traced by the user as it is smoothed and interpolated to create a continuous line.

  • Text, Note and Image elements do not return geometry, so will return null.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

id

string

The id of the element you want to get the geometry of.

Returns

Promise<null | GeoJsonGeometry>

Events

onElementCreate()

onElementCreate(args: { handler: (change: ElementChangeCallbackParams) => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when an element is created.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

args

{ handler: (change: ) => void; }

-

args.handler

(change: ) => void

The handler that is called when an element is created. This will fire when elements are created programatically, or when the user starts creating an element with a drawing tool. When the user creates an element with a drawing tool, it can begin in an invalid state, such as if you've just placed a single point in a polygon. You can use the isBeingCreated property to determine if the element is still being created by a drawing tool. If you want to know when the element is finished being created, you can use the listener.

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onElementCreate({
  handler: (element) => console.log(element.id),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

onElementCreateEnd()

onElementCreateEnd(args: { handler: (params: { element: Element; }) => void; }): VoidFunction

Listens for when a new element is finished being created by a drawing tool.

This differs from the `onElementCreate` listener, which fires whenever an element is first created. This fires when the user finishes creating an element which could be after a series of interactions.

For example, when creating a polygon, the user places a series of points then finishes by pressing Enter or Escape. Or when creating a Place element, they add the marker, type a label, then finally deselect the element.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

args

{ handler: (params: { element: ; }) => void; }

-

args.handler

(params: { element: ; }) => void

The handler to call whenever this event fires.

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onToolCreatedElement({
  handler: (params) => console.log(params),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

onElementChange()

onElementChange(args: { options: { id: string; }; handler: (change: ElementChangeCallbackParams) => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when an element changes.

This will fire when an element is being edited, either on the map by the user or programatically.

Like the `onElementCreate` listener, this will fire when an element is still being created by a drawing tool.

You can check the `isBeingCreated` property to determine if the element is still being created by a drawing tool.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

args

{ options: { id: string; }; handler: (change: ) => void; }

-

args.options

{ id: string; }

-

args.options.id

string

The id of the element to listen for changes to.

args.handler

(change: ) => void

The handler that is called when the element changes.

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onElementChange({
  options: { id: "element-1" },
  handler: ({element}) => console.log(element.id),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

onElementDelete()

onElementDelete(args: { options: { id: string; }; handler: () => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when an element is deleted.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

args

{ options: { id: string; }; handler: () => void; }

-

args.options

{ id: string; }

-

args.options.id

string

The id of the element to listen for deletions of.

args.handler

() => void

The handler that is called when the element is deleted.

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onElementDelete({
  options: { id: "element-1" },
  handler: () => console.log("element-1 deleted"),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

onElementGroupChange()

onElementGroupChange(args: { options: { id: string; }; handler: (change: ElementGroupChangeCallbackParams) => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when an element group changes.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

args

{ options: { id: string; }; handler: (change: ) => void; }

args.options

{ id: string; }

args.options.id

string

args.handler

(change: ) => void

  • FeltController

Methods

getLayer()

getLayer(id: string): Promise<null | Layer>

Get a single layer from the map by its id.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

Gets layers from the map, according to the constraints supplied. If no constraints are supplied, all layers will be returned.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

constraint?

The constraints to apply to the layers returned from the map.

Returns

Promise<(null | Layer)[]>

All layers on the map.

Remarks

The layers in the map, ordered by the order specified in Felt. This is not necessarily the order that they are drawn in, as Felt draws points above lines and lines above polygons, for instance.

Example

const layers = await felt.getLayers();

setLayerVisibility()

setLayerVisibility(visibility: SetVisibilityRequest): Promise<void>

Hide or show layers with the given ids.

Parameters

Parameter

setLayerStyle()

setLayerStyle(params: { id: string; style: object; }): Promise<void>

Set the style for a layer using FSL, the Felt Style Language.

Changes are only for this session, and not persisted. This is useful to make temporary changes to a layer's style, such as to highlight a particular layer or feature.

See the FSL documentation for details on how to read and write styles.

If the style you set is invalid, you will receive an error explaining the problem in the rejected promise value.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

params

{ id: string; style: object; }

-

params.id

string

The id of the layer to set the style for.

params.style

This list is paginated in sets of 20 features for each page. In order to paginate between pages, the response includes previousPage and nextPage that are tokens that should be sent in the pagination params for requesting sibling pages.

Text search is case-insensitive and looks for matches across all feature properties.

Example

const page1Response = await felt.getFeatures({
  layerId: "layer-1",
  search: "abc123",
  pagination: undefined,
});

// Note that the search term here matches the one for the first page.
if (page1Response.nextPage) {
  const page2Response = await felt.getFeatures({
    layerId: "layer-1",
    search: "abc123",
    pagination: page1Response.nextPage,
  });
}

getGeoJsonFeature()

getGeoJsonFeature(params: { id: string | number; layerId: string; }): Promise<null | GeoJsonFeature>

Get a feature in GeoJSON format from the map by its ID and layer ID.

The response is a GeoJSON Feature object with the complete geometry of the feature. Note that for some very large geometries, the response may take a long time to return, and may return a very large object.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

{ id: string | number; layerId: string; }

params.id

string | number

params.layerId

string

Returns

Promise<null | GeoJsonFeature>

Example

const feature = await felt.getGeoJsonFeature({ layerId: "layer-1", id: 123 });

getCategoryData()

getCategoryData(params: GetLayerCategoriesParams): Promise<GetLayerCategoriesGroup[]>

Gets values from a layer grouped by a given attribute.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

Returns

Promise<GetLayerCategoriesGroup[]>

Remarks

Groups features in your layer by unique values in the specified attribute and calculates a value for each group. By default, this value is the count of features in each group.

You can apply filters in two ways:

  1. At the top level (using boundary and filters), which affects both what categories are included and how values are calculated

  2. In the values configuration, which only affects the values but keeps all categories

This two-level filtering is particularly useful when you want to compare subsets of data while maintaining consistent categories. For example, you might want to show the distribution of all building types in a city, but only count buildings built after 2000 in each category.

Example

// Basic grouping: Count of buildings by type
const buildingsByType = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "type"
});

// Filtered grouping: Only count buildings in downtown
const downtownBuildingsByType = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "type",
  boundary: [-122.43, 47.60, -122.33, 47.62]  // downtown boundary
});

// Advanced: Show all building types, but only sum floor area of recent buildings
const recentBuildingAreaByType = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "type",
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "gte", 2000],
    aggregation: {
      method: "sum",
      attribute: "floor_area"
    }
  }
});

// Compare residential density across neighborhoods while only counting recent buildings
const newBuildingDensityByNeighborhood = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "neighborhood",
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "gte", 2000],
    aggregation: {
      method: "avg",
      attribute: "units_per_acre"
    }
  }
});

getHistogramData()

getHistogramData(params: GetLayerHistogramParams): Promise<GetLayerHistogramBin[]>

Gets a histogram of values from a layer for a given attribute.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

Returns

Promise<GetLayerHistogramBin[]>

Remarks

Creates bins (ranges) for numeric data and counts how many features fall into each bin, or returns aggregated values for each bin.

You can control how the bins are created using the steps parameter, choosing from several methods like equal intervals, quantiles, or natural breaks (Jenks), or passing in the step values directly if you know how you want to bin the data.

Like getCategoryData, you can apply filters in two ways:

  1. At the top level (using boundary and filters), which affects both how the bins are calculated and what features are counted in each bin

  2. In the values configuration, which only affects what gets counted but keeps the bin ranges the same

This is particularly useful when you want to compare distributions while keeping consistent bin ranges. For example, you might want to compare the distribution of building heights in different years while using the same height ranges.

Example

// Basic histogram: Building heights in 5 natural break bins
const buildingHeights = await felt.getHistogramData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "height",
  steps: { type: "jenks", count: 5 }
});

// Compare old vs new buildings using the same height ranges
const oldBuildingHeights = await felt.getHistogramData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "height",
  steps: [0, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500],
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "lt", 1950]
  }
});

const newBuildingHeights = await felt.getHistogramData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "height",
  steps: [0, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500],  // Same ranges as above
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "gte", 1950]
  }
});

getAggregates()

getAggregates<T>(params: GetLayerCalculationParams<T>): Promise<Record<T, null | number>>

Calculates a single aggregate value for a layer based on the provided configuration.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter

T extends "avg" | "max" | "min" | "sum" | "median" | "count"

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

<T>

Returns

Promise<Record<T, null | number>>

Remarks

Performs statistical calculations on your data, like counting features or computing averages, sums, etc. You can focus your calculation on specific areas or subsets of your data using boundaries and filters.

When no aggregation is specified, it counts features. When an aggregation is provided, it performs that calculation (average, sum, etc.) on the specified attribute.

Example

// Count all residential buildings
const residentialCount = await felt.getAggregates({
  layerId: "buildings",
  filters: ["type", "eq", "residential"]
});

// Calculate average home value in a specific neighborhood
const avgHomeValue = await felt.getAggregates({
  layerId: "buildings",
  boundary: [-122.43, 47.60, -122.33, 47.62],  // neighborhood boundary
  aggregation: {
    method: "avg",
    attribute: "assessed_value"
  }
});

// Find the maximum building height for buildings built after 2000
const maxNewBuildingHeight = await felt.getAggregates({
  layerId: "buildings",
  filters: ["year_built", "gte", 2000],
  aggregation: {
    method: "max",
    attribute: "height"
  }
});

getLayerSchema()

getLayerSchema(layerId: string): Promise<LayerSchema>

Get the schema for a layer.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

layerId

string

Returns

Promise<LayerSchema>

Remarks

The schema describes the structure of the data in a layer, including the attributes that are available on the features in the layer.

This can be useful to build generic UIs that need to know the structure of the data in a layer, such as a dropdown to choose an attribute.

Example

const schema = await felt.getLayerSchema("layer-1");
const attributeIds = schema.attributes.map((attr) => attr.id);

FeltController


This is the main interface for interacting with a Felt map.

This interface is composed of the various controllers, each having a different area of responsibility.

All the methods are listed here, but each controller is documented on its own to make it easier to find related methods and events.

Extends

  • ViewportController.UiController.LayersController.ElementsController.SelectionController.InteractionsController.ToolsController.MiscController

Methods

getElement()

getElement(id: string): Promise<null | Element>

Get a single element from the map by its id.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

id

string

The id of the element you want to get.

Returns

Promise<null | Element>

The requested element.

Example

const element = await felt.getElement("element-1");

getElementGeometry()

getElementGeometry(id: string): Promise<null | GeoJsonGeometry>

Get the geometry of an element in GeoJSON geometry format.

For most element types, the geometry returned is based on the coordinates property of the element, with some differences:

  • For Circle elements, the geometry is a Polygon drawn from the center andradius properties.

  • Path elements become MultiLineString geometries.

  • Marker elements return a MultiLineString of the path traced by the user as they drew the marker. Note that this is not the polygon formed by filled-in "pen" stroke, which doesn't exactly follow the path traced by the user as it is smoothed and interpolated to create a continuous line.

  • Text, Note and Image elements do not return geometry, so will return null.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

id

string

The id of the element you want to get the geometry of.

Returns

Promise<null | GeoJsonGeometry>

});

getRenderedFeatures()

getRenderedFeatures(params?: GetRenderedFeaturesConstraint): Promise<LayerFeature[]>

Get the features that are currently rendered on the map in the viewport.

Note that this is explicitly about the features that are rendered, which isn't necessarily a complete list of all the features in the viewport. This is because of the way features are tiled: at low zoom levels or high feature densities, many features are omitted from what is rendered on the screen.

Parameters

Search term to search by. Search is case-insensitive and looks for matches across all feature properties.

params.pagination?

null | string

Pagination token. It comes from either the previousPage or nextPage properties of the previous response.

Returns

Promise<{ features: LayerFeature[]; count: number; previousPage: null | string; nextPage: null | string; }>

The response is an object which contains:

  • features: list of LayerFeature objects, which does not include the geometry of the feature but it does include its bounding box.

  • count: the total number of features that match the query.

  • previousPage & nextPage: The tokens to pass in the pagination param to navigate between pages.

Remarks

This list is paginated in sets of 20 features for each page. In order to paginate between pages, the response includes previousPage and nextPage that are tokens that should be sent in the pagination params for requesting sibling pages.

Text search is case-insensitive and looks for matches across all feature properties.

Example

const page1Response = await felt.getFeatures({
  layerId: "layer-1",
  search: "abc123",
  pagination: undefined,
});

// Note that the search term here matches the one for the first page.
if (page1Response.nextPage) {
  const page2Response = await felt.getFeatures({
    layerId: "layer-1",
    search: "abc123",
    pagination: page1Response.nextPage,
  });
}

getGeoJsonFeature()

getGeoJsonFeature(params: { id: string | number; layerId: string; }): Promise<null | GeoJsonFeature>

Get a feature in GeoJSON format from the map by its ID and layer ID.

The response is a GeoJSON Feature object with the complete geometry of the feature. Note that for some very large geometries, the response may take a long time to return, and may return a very large object.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

{ id: string | number; layerId: string; }

params.id

string | number

params.layerId

string

Returns

Promise<null | GeoJsonFeature>

Example

const feature = await felt.getGeoJsonFeature({ layerId: "layer-1", id: 123 });

getCategoryData()

getCategoryData(params: GetLayerCategoriesParams): Promise<GetLayerCategoriesGroup[]>

Gets values from a layer grouped by a given attribute.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

Returns

Promise<GetLayerCategoriesGroup[]>

Remarks

Groups features in your layer by unique values in the specified attribute and calculates a value for each group. By default, this value is the count of features in each group.

You can apply filters in two ways:

  1. At the top level (using boundary and filters), which affects both what categories are included and how values are calculated

  2. In the values configuration, which only affects the values but keeps all categories

This two-level filtering is particularly useful when you want to compare subsets of data while maintaining consistent categories. For example, you might want to show the distribution of all building types in a city, but only count buildings built after 2000 in each category.

Example

// Basic grouping: Count of buildings by type
const buildingsByType = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "type"
});

// Filtered grouping: Only count buildings in downtown
const downtownBuildingsByType = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "type",
  boundary: [-122.43, 47.60, -122.33, 47.62]  // downtown boundary
});

// Advanced: Show all building types, but only sum floor area of recent buildings
const recentBuildingAreaByType = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "type",
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "gte", 2000],
    aggregation: {
      method: "sum",
      attribute: "floor_area"
    }
  }
});

// Compare residential density across neighborhoods while only counting recent buildings
const newBuildingDensityByNeighborhood = await felt.getCategoryData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "neighborhood",
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "gte", 2000],
    aggregation: {
      method: "avg",
      attribute: "units_per_acre"
    }
  }
});

getHistogramData()

getHistogramData(params: GetLayerHistogramParams): Promise<GetLayerHistogramBin[]>

Gets a histogram of values from a layer for a given attribute.

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

Returns

Promise<GetLayerHistogramBin[]>

Remarks

Creates bins (ranges) for numeric data and counts how many features fall into each bin, or returns aggregated values for each bin.

You can control how the bins are created using the steps parameter, choosing from several methods like equal intervals, quantiles, or natural breaks (Jenks), or passing in the step values directly if you know how you want to bin the data.

Like getCategoryData, you can apply filters in two ways:

  1. At the top level (using boundary and filters), which affects both how the bins are calculated and what features are counted in each bin

  2. In the values configuration, which only affects what gets counted but keeps the bin ranges the same

This is particularly useful when you want to compare distributions while keeping consistent bin ranges. For example, you might want to compare the distribution of building heights in different years while using the same height ranges.

Example

// Basic histogram: Building heights in 5 natural break bins
const buildingHeights = await felt.getHistogramData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "height",
  steps: { type: "jenks", count: 5 }
});

// Compare old vs new buildings using the same height ranges
const oldBuildingHeights = await felt.getHistogramData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "height",
  steps: [0, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500],
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "lt", 1950]
  }
});

const newBuildingHeights = await felt.getHistogramData({
  layerId: "buildings",
  attribute: "height",
  steps: [0, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500],  // Same ranges as above
  values: {
    filters: ["year_built", "gte", 1950]
  }
});

getAggregates()

getAggregates<T>(params: GetLayerCalculationParams<T>): Promise<Record<T, null | number>>

Calculates a single aggregate value for a layer based on the provided configuration.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter

T extends "avg" | "max" | "min" | "sum" | "median" | "count"

Parameters

Parameter
Type

params

<T>

Returns

Promise<Record<T, null | number>>

Remarks

Performs statistical calculations on your data, like counting features or computing averages, sums, etc. You can focus your calculation on specific areas or subsets of your data using boundaries and filters.

When no aggregation is specified, it counts features. When an aggregation is provided, it performs that calculation (average, sum, etc.) on the specified attribute.

Example

// Count all residential buildings
const residentialCount = await felt.getAggregates({
  layerId: "buildings",
  filters: ["type", "eq", "residential"]
});

// Calculate average home value in a specific neighborhood
const avgHomeValue = await felt.getAggregates({
  layerId: "buildings",
  boundary: [-122.43, 47.60, -122.33, 47.62],  // neighborhood boundary
  aggregation: {
    method: "avg",
    attribute: "assessed_value"
  }
});

// Find the maximum building height for buildings built after 2000
const maxNewBuildingHeight = await felt.getAggregates({
  layerId: "buildings",
  filters: ["year_built", "gte", 2000],
  aggregation: {
    method: "max",
    attribute: "height"
  }
});

getLayerSchema()

getLayerSchema(layerId: string): Promise<LayerSchema>

Parameters

Parameter
Type

string

Returns

Promise<LayerSchema>

Remarks

The schema describes the structure of the data in a layer, including the attributes that are available on the features in the layer.

This can be useful to build generic UIs that need to know the structure of the data in a layer, such as a dropdown to choose an attribute.

Example

const schema = await felt.getLayerSchema("layer-1");
const attributeIds = schema.attributes.map((attr) => attr.id);

Events

onElementCreate()

onElementCreate(args: { handler: (change: ElementChangeCallbackParams) => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when an element is created.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

args

{ handler: (change: ) => void; }

-

args.handler

(change: ) => void

The handler that is called when an element is created. This will fire when elements are created programatically, or when the user starts creating an element with a drawing tool. When the user creates an element with a drawing tool, it can begin in an invalid state, such as if you've just placed a single point in a polygon. You can use the isBeingCreated property to determine if the element is still being created by a drawing tool. If you want to know when the element is finished being created, you can use the listener.

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onElementCreate({
  handler: (element) => console.log(element.id),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

onElementCreateEnd()

onElementCreateEnd(args: { handler: (params: { element: Element; }) => void; }): VoidFunction

Listens for when a new element is finished being created by a drawing tool.

This differs from the `onElementCreate` listener, which fires whenever an element is first created. This fires when the user finishes creating an element which could be after a series of interactions.

For example, when creating a polygon, the user places a series of points then finishes by pressing Enter or Escape. Or when creating a Place element, they add the marker, type a label, then finally deselect the element.

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

args

{ handler: (params: { element: ; }) => void; }

-

args.handler

(params: { element: ; }) => void

The handler to call whenever this event fires.

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onToolCreatedElement({
  handler: (params) => console.log(params),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

onElementChange()

onElementChange(args: { options: { id: string; }; handler: (change: ElementChangeCallbackParams) => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when an element changes.

This will fire when an element is being edited, either on the map by the user or programatically.

Like the `onElementCreate` listener, this will fire when an element is still being created by a drawing tool.

You can check the `isBeingCreated` property to determine if the element is still being created by a drawing tool.
