Animate a line | NMaps GL JS Docs

This example animates a line by updating a GeoJSON source on each frame.
It uses addSource to add a GeoJSON source and uses addLayer to add a line layer to the map.
When the animation begins, the data in the GeoJSON object changes, and the line appears animated on the map.
