Leaflet.functionaltilelayer

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.

This project is looking for a maintainer. Interested? Open an issue.

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://otile{3}.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/map/{0}/{1}/{2}.jpg'
        .replace('{0}', view.zoom)
        .replace('{1}', view.tile.row)
        .replace('{2}', view.tile.column)
        .replace('{3}', 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] (http://ismyrnow.github.com/Leaflet.functionaltilelayer/example/basic.html).

For an example of using promises, see the [promise example] (http://ismyrnow.github.com/Leaflet.functionaltilelayer/example/promise.html).

Thanks to @ryanttb and jQuery Geo's service objects, which were the inspiration for this plugin.
