Class: VectorTile

ol.source.VectorTile 


import VectorTile from 'ol/source/vectortile';

Class for layer sources providing vector data divided into a tile grid, to be used with ol.layer.VectorTile. Although this source receives tiles with vector features from the server, it is not meant for feature editing. Features are optimized for rendering, their geometries are clipped at or near tile boundaries and simplified for a view resolution. See ol.source.Vector for vector sources that are suitable for feature editing.

new ol.source.VectorTile(options)

src/ol/source/vectortile.js, line 29
Name Type Description
options

Vector tile options.

Name Type Description
attributions ol.AttributionLike | undefined

Attributions.
cacheSize number | undefined

Cache size. Default is 128.
format ol.format.Feature | undefined

Feature format for tiles. Used and required by the default tileLoadFunction.
logo string | olx.LogoOptions | undefined

Logo.
overlaps boolean | undefined

This source may have overlapping geometries. Default is true. Setting this to false (e.g. for sources with polygons that represent administrative boundaries or TopoJSON sources) allows the renderer to optimise fill and stroke operations.
projection ol.ProjectionLike

Projection.
state ol.source.State | undefined

Source state.
tileClass function | undefined

Class used to instantiate vector tiles. Default is ol.VectorTile.
tileGrid ol.tilegrid.TileGrid | undefined

Tile grid.
tileLoadFunction ol.TileLoadFunctionType | undefined

Optional function to load a tile given a URL. Could look like this:

function(tile, url) {
  tile.setLoader(function() {
    var data = // ... fetch data
    var format = tile.getFormat();
    tile.setFeatures(format.readFeatures(data, {
      // uncomment the line below for ol.format.MVT only
      extent: tile.getExtent(),
      featureProjection: map.getView().getProjection()
    }));
  };
});
tileUrlFunction ol.TileUrlFunctionType | undefined

Optional function to get tile URL given a tile coordinate and the projection.
url string | undefined

URL template. Must include {x}, {y} or {-y}, and {z} placeholders. A {?-?} template pattern, for example subdomain{a-f}.domain.com, may be used instead of defining each one separately in the urls option.
urls Array.<string> | undefined

An array of URL templates.
wrapX boolean | undefined

Whether to wrap the world horizontally. When set to false, only one world will be rendered. When set to true, tiles will be wrapped horizontally to render multiple worlds. Default is true.
transition number | undefined

Duration of the opacity transition for rendering. To disable the opacity transition, pass transition: 0.
