API Reference

`L.esri.Vector.vectorBasemapLayer`

For rendering basemap layers which use the Esri Basemap Styles API internally. Extends L.Layer.

// example using an Esri Basemap Styles API name
L.esri.Vector.vectorBasemapLayer("ArcGIS:Streets", {
  // provide either `apikey` or `token`
  apikey: "...",
  token: "..."
}).addTo(map);

// example using an ITEM_ID
L.esri.Vector.vectorBasemapLayer("ITEM_ID", {
  // provide either `apikey` or `token`
  apikey: "...",
  token: "..."
}).addTo(map);

Basemap Names

Please see the documentation for a list of basemap names you can use (ArcGIS:Streets, ArcGIS:DarkGray, ArcGIS:Imagery:Standard, OSM:Standard, etc).

`L.esri.Vector.vectorTileLayer`

For custom vector tiles layers published from user data. Extends L.Layer.

⚠️ This only supports services using the Web Mercator projection because it relies directly upon maplibre-gl-js. Otherwise, the layer is not guaranteed to display properly. More information is available at Maplibre custom coordinate system.

// example using an ITEM_ID
L.esri.Vector.vectorTileLayer("ITEM_ID", {
  // optional: provide either `apikey` or `token` if not public
  apikey: "...",
  token: "...",

  // optional: if your layer is not hosted on ArcGIS Online,
  // change `portalUrl` to the ArcGIS Enterprise base url
  // (this is necessary when specifying an ITEM_ID)
  portalUrl: "https://www.arcgis.com", // default value
  
  // optional: customize the style with a function that gets the default style from the service
  // and returns the new style to be used
  style: (style) => {
    return newStyle;
  }
}).addTo(map);

// example using a VectorTileServer SERVICE_URL
L.esri.Vector.vectorTileLayer("SERVICE_URL", {
  // optional: provide either `apikey` or `token` if not public
  apikey: "...",
  token: "...",

  // optional: if your layer is not hosted on ArcGIS Online,
  // change `portalUrl` to the ArcGIS Enterprise base url
  // (this may not be necessary when specifying a SERVICE_URL)
  portalUrl: "https://www.arcgis.com", // default value
  
  // optional: set by default to `false` for performance reasons
  // set to `true` to resolve WebGL printing issues in Firefox
  preserveDrawingBuffer: false, // default value
  
  // optional: customize the style with a function that gets the default style from the service
  // and returns the new style to be used
  style: (style) => {
    return newStyle;
  }
}).addTo(map);

Development Instructions

Quickstart Development Instructions

Fork and clone this repo.
cd into the esri-leaflet-vector folder.
Install the dependencies with npm install.
Run npm run dev to compile the raw source inside a newly created dist folder and start up a development web server.
- Alternatively, run npm run start to compile raw source code into both "debug" and "production" versions. This process will take longer to compile when saving your local changes to source code. Recommended only when building for production.
Open examples/quickstart-dev.html to see local changes in action.

Advanced Development Instructions

Fork and clone this repo.
cd into the esri-leaflet-vector folder.
Install the dependencies with npm install.
Run npm run build to compile the raw source inside a newly created dist folder.
