@poopdeck.gl/layers

deck.gl layers for SpatioTemporal Tiles (STT) — stream a packed STT dataset into animated points, paths, polygons, trips, OD flows, splats, and server-aggregated summary tiers, with GPU time filtering driven by a shared playback clock.

Install

npm install @poopdeck.gl/layers deck.gl

Peers: deck.gl 9.3+ (@deck.gl/core, @deck.gl/layers, @deck.gl/geo-layers, @deck.gl/aggregation-layers, @deck.gl/extensions, @deck.gl/mesh-layers, @luma.gl/core, @luma.gl/engine — all >=9.3.0 <10). Installing the deck.gl umbrella package satisfies them all.

Hello world — SttPlayer + an animated layer

import { Deck } from "@deck.gl/core";
import { AnimatedPointLayer } from "@poopdeck.gl/layers";
import { SttPlayer } from "@poopdeck.gl/playback";

const player = new SttPlayer({
  timeRange: { start, end },
  baseRate: (end - start) / 60_000, // dataset plays in ~60 s at 1×
  loop: true,
});

const layer = new AnimatedPointLayer({
  id: "events",
  data: "https://tiles.example.com/earthquakes/manifest.json",
  timeController: player.timeController, // layers READ the clock; the player drives it
  timeWindow: 86_400_000,
  onTilesetReady: (tileset) => player.setSource(tileset), // buffering gates playback
  onBufferChange: (runway) => player.notifyBufferChange(runway),
});

new Deck({ layers: [layer] });
player.play();

Every layer extends SpatioTemporalLayer (tile lifecycle + time wiring + binary-attribute plumbing); the catalog spans core layers (AnimatedPoint/Path/Polygon/Column/Icon/BoundingBox, SplatLayer), trips (AnimatedTrips, AnimatedTripHeads, FlowCorridor, FlowStroke), OD flow (AnimatedArc/Line, Flowmap, BundledFlowmap), summary tiers (H3Summary, QuadbinSummary, AnimatedHeatmap), and extensions (TimeFilter, CategoryColor, ChevronFlow, Splat).

Start at the docs index — every layer and extension has its own reference page, beginning with SpatioTemporalLayer; the player is documented at SttPlayer.
