anyone got mapdeck working with OSGB vector tiles?

Question

Trying to stretch my understanding of how mapdeck can plot maps and the new (new to me) Ordnance Survey Vector Tile API that can display 3D buildings See https://labs.os.uk/public/os-data-hub-examples/os-vector-tile-api/vts-example-3d-buildings

Has anyone any advice about how to reference the labs.os.uk data as a layer in mapdeck?

Answer 1

I suspect it is not possible to set a transformRequest function when using Mapbox via Mapdeck.

But you can probably do it by downloading the tile json from https://api.os.uk/maps/vector/v1/vts&key=your_os_api_key&srs=3857

Edit by appending &srs=3857 to the "tiles" url.

Save the edited tile json to your server.

Then download a copy of the 3d style json from https://github.com/OrdnanceSurvey/OS-Vector-Tile-API-Stylesheets/blob/master/OS_VTS_3857_3D.json

Edit by appending &key=your_os_api_key to the "sprite" and "glyphs" urls, and edit the "sources" "url" entry to point the tile json on your server.

Save the edited style json to your server.

Hopefully Mapdeck can then be used with style = parameter set to the url of the style json on your server.
