SymbolLayer iconImage accept base64?

[trevor-trou]

I have a base64-representation of a png. I'd like to be able to use the base64 as my imageIcon in a SymbolLayer, but I'm unsure if this is a supported feature or not.

In the example, you specify the iconImage as follows:

import exampleIcon from '../assets/example.png';

const styles = MapboxGL.StyleSheet.create({
  icon: {
    iconImage: exampleIcon,
    iconAllowOverlap: true,
    iconSize: 0.5,
  },
});

...

<MapboxGL.SymbolLayer
              id="symbolLocationSymbols"
              minZoomLevel={1}
              style={styles.icon}
            />

Instead of importing the .png and using that as the iconImage in the stylesheet, is it possible to use a base64 string instead? Something like:

const styles = MapboxGL.StyleSheet.create({
  icon: {
    iconImage: {"imageData": "iVBORw0KGgoA ... FTkSuQmCC", // base64 string
"contentType": "image/png",},
    iconAllowOverlap: true,
    iconSize: 0.5,
  },
});

Bump.

I'd like to know if base64 as icon is possible as well.

@gisert Since I didn’t get any response from the dev team, I ended up forking the project and implementing my own solution. I had to implement custom code in both the Android and iOS projects, but it was fairly painless.

@trevor-trou I’m sure we can get this functionality into the repo, but I think it is wise to wait til 7.0.0 is released.

Mapbox expect it to hit mid/late January. 7.0.0 introduces a lot of large changes, so it’s better to wait for it to hit master.
