tilelive-promise
Adds an extended Promise-based interface to the existing tilelive components, or exposes new components to older tilelive systems.
This module supplies either a modern or a legacy wrapper for the tilelive (TileSource) object.
For sources that implement getTile()
, getGrid()
and getInfo()
, creates a new getAsync()
generic function.
For sources that implement getAsync()
, supplies the callback-based getTile()
, getGrid()
and getInfo()
.
If both getTile()
and getAsync()
are present, the instance is returned unmodified.
Promise<object> getAsync(options)
The new function allows to treat get*()
as promises,
permits additional parameter passing with each request (e.g. scaling, format, language),
and allow non-tile data to be retrieved through the same system.
Both tile
and grid
requests via GetAsync()
may also use an index
parameter instead of (x,y) coordinates. Index is a single 56bit quadtile integer, allowing up to zoom 26.
getAsync()
returns a Promise that resolves to an object. The content of the object depends on the type.
