VectorTileLayer as a base map ?

[kraleva]

Basically a pretty straightforward question. In the JavaScript implementation, there are plugins like Tangram, which renders vector tiles using WebGL. However, if one wants to use vector tiles as a basemap on ipyleaflet side, this integration that exists in JavaScript with tangram is not possible. Is there some good workaround this issue ?

Our VectorTileLayer currently uses https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.VectorGrid, which has canvas and SVG renderers. If you want to use WebGL through Tangram, we would need the Tangram Leaflet layer. That would be a nice feature, do you want to try and implement it?
