Features Under the Pointer

Call map.queryRenderedFeatures(e.point) to inspect which style features sit under the pointer. Here it reports the count and the topmost layer.

import { MaptoolkitLogoControl } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@maptoolkit/maplibre-gl-logo/+esm';
const map = new maplibregl.Map({ container: 'map', attributionControl: { customAttribution: '' }, style: 'https://styles.maptoolkit.org/summer.json', center: [2.1734, 41.3851], zoom: 13 }); // Barcelona
const out = document.getElementById('out');
map.on('mousemove', function (e) {
  const f = map.queryRenderedFeatures(e.point);
  out.textContent = f.length ? ('Features: ' + f.length + '  top layer: ' + f[0].layer.id) : 'No features';
});
map.addControl(new MaptoolkitLogoControl());
