Function inspectorStyle

A colour-coded style that draws every source-layer of a vector tileset, whatever it contains.

Each source-layer gets three layers — a translucent fill, a line, and a name label — in one hue derived from its name, over a neutral background. Nothing is filtered and nothing is hidden, so geometry shows up whichever type it turns out to be. This is what you want when the tiles are unfamiliar, or when you are checking what a tileset actually carries rather than how it should look.

It is the style guessStyle falls back to for vector tiles whose schema it cannot build, and exporting it means you can ask for it deliberately — including for a tileset that is recognised, where guessStyle would give you real cartography instead:

import { inspectorStyle } from '@versatiles/style';
const style = inspectorStyle(tileJSON); // raw source-layers, even for Shortbread tiles
Copy

Synchronous and performs no I/O, like osm() and guessSchema(): it takes a TileJSON object. Pass a URL through fetchTileJSON first.

Unlike guessStyle, this throws rather than returning a blank style — it is a builder, and you asked for this style specifically, so a malformed tileset is an error rather than something to paper over.
