Leaflet.functionaltilelayer

For use with Leaflet 1.0.1.

Leaflet tile layer with functionally defined URL and support for promises.

A typical use case is fetching tiles asynchronously, with an ajax request or IndexedDB query.

Usage

Use it like any other tile layer, but instead of providing a urlTemplate as the first argument, provide a function. The function should return either the tile URL as a string, or a promise which resolves to a string.

var funcLayer = new L.TileLayer.Functional(function (view) {
      var url = 'http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'
        .replace('{z}', view.zoom)
        .replace('{y}', view.tile.row)
        .replace('{x}', view.tile.column)
        .replace('{s}', view.subdomain);

    return url;
});

The function is given a view object with the following properties:

view = {
  bbox,
  width,
  height,
  zoom,
  tile: {
    row,
    column
  },
  subdomain
};

For an example of the code above, see the [basic example] (example/basic.html).

For an example of using promises, see the [promise example] (example/promise.html).
