VectorTileSource

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:66

A source containing vector tiles in Maplibre Vector Tile format or Mapbox Vector Tile format. (See the Style Specification for detailed documentation of options.)

Examples

map.addSource('some id', {
    type: 'vector',
    url: 'https://demotiles.maplibre.org/tiles/tiles.json'
});
map.addSource('some id', {
    type: 'vector',
    tiles: ['https://d25uarhxywzl1j.cloudfront.net/v0.1/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt'],
    minzoom: 6,
    maxzoom: 14
});
map.getSource('some id').setUrl("https://demotiles.maplibre.org/tiles/tiles.json");
map.getSource('some id').setTiles(['https://d25uarhxywzl1j.cloudfront.net/v0.1/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt']);

Methods

abortTile()

abortTile(tile: Tile): Promise<void>

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:299

Allows to abort a tile loading.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
tile Tile The tile to abort

Returns

Promise<void>

Implementation of

Source.abortTile


hasTile()

hasTile(tileID: OverscaledTileID): boolean

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:148

True is the tile is part of the source, false otherwise.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
tileID OverscaledTileID The tile ID

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

Source.hasTile


hasTransition()

hasTransition(): boolean

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:325

True if the source has transition, false otherwise.

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

Source.hasTransition


listens()

listens(type: string): boolean

Defined in: util/evented.ts:180

Returns a true if this instance of Evented or any forwardeed instances of Evented have a listener for the specified type.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
type string The event type

Returns

boolean

true if there is at least one registered listener for specified event type, false otherwise

Inherited from

Evented.listens


loaded()

loaded(): boolean

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:144

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

Source.loaded


loadTile()

loadTile(tile: Tile): Promise<void | LoadTileResult>

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:205

This method does the heavy lifting of loading a tile. In most cases it will defer the work to the relevant worker source.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
tile Tile The tile to load

Returns

Promise<void | LoadTileResult>

Implementation of

Source.loadTile


off()

off<T>(type: T, listener: (event: SourceEventType[T]) => void): this

Defined in: util/evented.ts:95

Removes a previously registered event listener.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
T extends keyof SourceEventType

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
type T The event type to remove listeners for.
listener (event: SourceEventType[T]) => void The listener function to remove.

Returns

this

Inherited from

Evented.off


on()

on<T>(type: T, listener: (event: SourceEventType[T]) => void): Subscription

Defined in: util/evented.ts:78

Adds a listener to a specified event type.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
T extends keyof SourceEventType

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
type T The event type to add a listen for.
listener (event: SourceEventType[T]) => void The function to be called when the event is fired. The listener function is called with the data object passed to fire, extended with target and type properties.

Returns

Subscription

Inherited from

Evented.on


onAdd()

onAdd(map: Map): void

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:152

This method is called when the source is added to the map.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
map Map The map instance

Returns

void

Implementation of

Source.onAdd


once()

Call Signature

once<T>(type: T): Promise<SourceEventType[T]>

Defined in: util/evented.ts:110

Adds a listener that will be called only once to a specified event type.

The listener will be called first time the event fires after the listener is registered.

Type Parameters
Type Parameter
T extends keyof SourceEventType
Parameters
Parameter Type Description
type T The event type to listen for.
Returns

Promise<SourceEventType[T]>

a promise that resolves with the event

Inherited from

Evented.once

Call Signature

once<T>(type: T, listener: (event: SourceEventType[T]) => void): this

Defined in: util/evented.ts:120

Adds a listener that will be called only once to a specified event type.

The listener will be called first time the event fires after the listener is registered.

Type Parameters
Type Parameter
T extends keyof SourceEventType
Parameters
Parameter Type Description
type T The event type to listen for.
listener (event: SourceEventType[T]) => void The function to be called when the event is fired the first time.
Returns

this

this when a listener is provided

Inherited from

Evented.once


onRemove()

onRemove(): void

Defined in: source/vector_tile_source.ts:194

This method is called when the source is removed from the map.

Returns
