[OpenLayers-Users] ESRI vector tiles

[Andreas Hocevar]

The easiest way to achieve this is to configure a custom tileLoadFunction
for the VectorTile source. That function, when it receives a 404, has to
request the tile for the next lower zoom, until it receives a 200, and call
`setFeatures` with the result. Something like this (untested):

import {getCenter} from 'ol/extent';
import MVT from 'ol/format/MVT';

const source = new VectorTileSource({
format: new MVT(),
url: 'https://my.tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf',
tileLoadFunction(tile, url) {
tile.setLoader(async (extent, resolution, projection) => {
let response = await fetch(url);
let status = response.status;
let tileCoord = tile.tileCoord;
const tileGrid = source.getTileGrid();
while (status !== 200 && tileCoord[0] > tileGrid.getMinZoom()) {
const z = tileCoord[0];
tileCoord = tileGrid.getTileCoordForCoordAndZ(
getCenter(tileGrid.getTileCoordExtent(tileCoord)), z - 1
);
response = await fetch(source.getTileUrlFunction()(tileCoord,
devicePixelRatio, projection));
}
const data = await response.arrayBuffer();
const format = tile.getFormat()
const features = format.readFeatures(data, {
extent: extent,
featureProjection: projection
});
tile.setFeatures(features);
});
}
});

I hope this helps.

Andreas.
