By default Pydeck does special handling for prop inputs. This means that pydeck 0.4.0 can't pass an array of strings to the JS layer without them being considered a function.
This is a workaround "hack" that binds selected layer properties directly to the
Layerinstance instead of passing those properties askwargs(keyword arguments) to thepydeck.Layerconstructor. This bypasses Pydeck's magic handling of prop inputs.It works because when Pydeck serializes the layer, it calls
vars(layer), which assembles the layer's attributes in a dict.Ref visgl/deck.gl#4897
