Add a Vector Tile Layer from URL

jcarlson — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 20:54:17 GMT

When I add a layer from a URL, I am able to provide an XYZ style URL, like

example.com/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}

When I add imagery this way (jpg or png), it loads just fine. When I attempt to do the same with vector tiles (pbf), nothing happens in the map.

Could we make it possible to add vector tiles from non-Esri sources like XYZ directories or web-hosted MBTile packages? Possibly with the option to specify where the style JSON is located?

In addition to pbf for vector tiles, I would like to be able to add mvt URLs as well, (e.g., https://tiles.something.com/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt)

I'd love to see this as well. PBF-style vector tiles are also what are created by pg_tileserv.
