mbtiles-spec VS Leaflet.VectorGrid

This is definitely possible. A very common use case is publishing custom vector tiles to Mapbox, but since you want to host the tileset itself on your own server, you can use something like tilelive to do so. It's easy to create your own custom .mbtiles with Mapbox Studio, but it's an open specification, so feel free to create your own from arbitrary geographic data.

Prepare "MBTiles" to store map tiles built-in SQLite for conversion of COMTiles.

> I once experimented with using SQLite as a file store for small images

Mapbox productionized this with their MBTiles [0] format, to store millions of small vector or raster map tiles in an SQLite database. Much easier to work with than millions of images on disk.

Some background on mbtiles files from mapbox/mbtiles-spec

use the vectorgrid leaflet plugin

Hi I am trying to https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.VectorGrid with leaflet. I have seen that there are no typings for that project so I have created leaflet.vectorgrid.d.ts and used https://github.com/Zahma/Leaflet.VectorGrid/blob/master/leaflet.vectorgrid.d.ts as typings. I have imported both like this:

I created a demo phoenix project that shows a test page. To edit it play with the map_controller and /priv/static/map_logic.js where I added the js logic, all is done using leaflet and the vector grid plugin. Demo repository can be found tile_server
