How to get 'line-dasharray' value from geojson for mapbox GL

Question

I am trying to get the value through ['get', 'line-dasharray'] but getting an error

Here is my code

var data = {
          'type': 'FeatureCollection',
          'features': [
 {
              'type': 'Feature',
              'geometry': {
                'type': 'LineString',
                'coordinates': []
              },
              'properties': {
                'route_id': 300,
                'route_url': 'http://test.com/file.gpx',
                'line-color': '#426d7e',
                'line-width':     3,
                'line-opacity':   1,
                'line-dasharray': [5, 2]
              },
            },
]
    }

// some code



              map.addSource('locations-rote', {
                type: 'geojson',
                data: data,
                generateId: true
              });

map.addLayer({
                  'id': 'route-coordinates',
                  'type': 'line',
                  'source': 'locations-rote',
                  'layout': {
                    'line-join': 'round',
                    'line-cap': 'round'
                  },
                  'paint': {
                    'line-color': ['get', 'line-color'],
                    'line-width': ['get', 'line-width'],
                    'line-opacity': ['get', 'line-opacity'],
                    'line-dasharray': ['get', 'line-dasharray']
                  }
                });

I try to use an array expression - https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/expressions/#types-array but also get an error. Tell me how to solve the problem.

Although you didn't specify what the error is that you are getting, it is likely the case that you are seeing something similar to:

Error: layers.route-coordinates.paint.line-dasharray: data expressions not supported

As indicated in the SDK support for the line-dasharray documentation here, this is because data-driven styling (i.e. using an expression to determine values for the property with information derived from your source data) is not yet supported on GL JS for the line-dasharray property.

If you'd like to style the line dashes differently based on different properties, you could instead create a few different layers referencing this source data by applying filters.
