serve_mvt: Serve a .mbtiles database of vectortiles

In MilesMcBain/mvtview: View and Serve Mapbox Vector Tile Databases

Serve a .mbtiles database of vectortiles

Description

Starts a web server in a background R session serving vector tiles from a supplied .mbtiles file.

Usage

serve_mvt(tiles_path, port = NULL, .serve_mode = "in-memory")

Arguments

tiles_path	The path to an .mbtiles file.
port	The port to for the server to serve mbtiles on. Default is a random available port.
.serve_mode	The way in which the server handles the vector tiles database. "in-memory" is the default and it will read the entire tile database into R as a tibble. "disk" will read tiles from the .mbtiles file as an SQLite database from disk. The default is more performant. Use "disk" only if you have a large vector tileset that would consume too much memory to hold in RAM at once.
