Description

The PointCloudLayer has a normalizeData function to support the loaders.gl point cloud data format. While it works at runtime, I get a type error when I pass in a conforming object to the data prop. Example:

new PointCloudLayer({
        // @ts-expect-error Type is not assignable to type '(PointCloudData & LayerDataSource<any>) | undefined'.
        data: {
          header: {
            vertexCount: 640*480,
          },
          attributes: {
            POSITION: {
              size: 3,
              value: Float64Array,
            },
            COLOR_0: {
              size: 3,
              value: Uint8Array,
            },
          },
        }

Expected Behavior

The types should follow the runtime behaviour.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a PointCloudLayer
2. Pass an object in the loaders.gl format (https://loaders.gl/docs/specifications/category-mesh#data-format) to data prop
3. Expect ts error
