Rendering of vector tiles using Leaflet

[Surekha Sastry]

Hi,

What is the best way to render vector tiles using Leaflet?  mapbox-gl is one option to work with vector tiles. But I would like to know if Leaflet has any support for this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Surekha.

Check this plugin out.

There are other examples too. Try searching for geojson-vt leaflet for more info.

Also Leaflet Vector Grid - https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.VectorGrid.

Currently, pbf sources do not have any interaction capabilities, while they do in Mapbox GL JS. Still, you can just load in your mapbox tiles and it works well. However, the lack of interaction has led me to use the Mapbox GL JS for my vector tile maps.

This small conversation really help me a lot. Please let me know if there is any more update news on showing .pbf file in leaflet.

Thanks

Vector Grid does allow interaction. See - https://www.ovrdc.org/apps/vector-grid-pbf.html#13/38.8775/-82.8709 for an example, you can also cut tiles on the fly using this plugin from geojson.
