[INFO] EditableGeoJsonLayer dissapears while editing and panning about nebula.gl

[georgios-uber]

Hi,
Thanks for using our library.

We capture the events and prevent them from going to the mapbox. Can you provide any more details? Are you using CSS pointer-events to change something?

@supersonicclay Any ideas?

Nebula.gl and deck.gl use JavaScript shallow object comparison when determining if there are changes to props. It could be you are perhaps creating a new object on every render cycle. And nebula clears the tentative feature when some props change (e.g. modeConfig, mode)

For example, this will cause that behavior:

render() {
  const modeConfig = {}
  const layer = new EditableGeoJsonLayer({
    // ...
    modeConfig: modeConfig, // this is a new object every render cycle
    // ...
  });

  // ...
}

Ups, yes that's the problem. I was setting selectedFeatureIndexes to [] in every render so a new array was being created. Thanks!
