Feature and layer Style

[gchoqueux]

There isn't simple method to get feature/featureCollection/layer Style. It's necessary to improve the architecture and expose methods to obtain the style.

My suggestion:

• FeatureCollection has the master style
• Feature has its own style, with default values read from the FeatureCollection style
• same goes for FeatureGeometry which inherits from the style of Feature (and so FeatureCollection)

With this, only two things need to be done:

• add a Style#clone() method
• in the constructor of each of these types, add an option to initiate the style, true by default

Generally speaking, regarding these types, what we are also missing either a great tutorial concerning the creation of FeatureCollection/Feature/FeatureGeometry, or either a better API (it is too complicated to understand bindNewGeometry/startSubGeometry/... imho.

Can this approach is able to apply to the diffrent layers? such as vector tiles?

@am2222 what do you mean ?

Created #1924 and #1923 as followups of this issue. Closing
