Style-optimized vector tiles. The shaver takes a Mapbox Vector Tile and a Mapbox GL Style and removes layers, features, and properties in the tile that are not used by the style to reduce the size of the tile. Read the feature release blog post and the api-documentation for more info.
npm install @mapbox/vtshaverIf you want to install locally you can also do:
git clone https://github.com/mapbox/vtshaver
cd vtshaver
npm installShaver provides 2 command line tools:
vtshave [args]
--tile: required: path to the input vector tile
--style: required: path to a gl style to use to shave
--zoom: required: the zoom level
--maxzoom: optional: the maxzoom of a tileset relevant to the tile buffer being shaved
--out: optional: pass a path if you want the shaved tile to be saved
Will output a size comparison of how many bytes were shaved off the tile.
Example:
vtshave --tile tile.mvt --zoom 0 --maxzoom 16 --style style.json
vtshaver-filters [args]
--style: required: path to a gl style to parse
--sources: optional: list of one or more sources (comma separated) to display in the output (default is all sources)
--pretty: optional: whether to pretty print the output (default false). Pass '--pretty' to indent the JSON.
Will output a json object describing each of the source-layers and their parsed metadata to be used for shaving.
Example:
vtshaver-filters --style style.json > meta.json
