Laravel Vector Tiles
====================

[](#laravel-vector-tiles)

Serve Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT) directly from PostGIS in Laravel. No separate tile server required.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.4+
- Laravel 13+
- PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require itsjustvita/laravel-vector-tiles
php artisan vector-tiles:install
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Defining Layers

[](#defining-layers)

Layers can be defined in `config/vector-tiles.php` for static definitions, or via the fluent API in a service provider for dynamic, auth-aware layers.

**Config-based:**

```
// config/vector-tiles.php
'layers' => [
    'buildings' => [
        'table' => 'buildings',
        'geometry' => 'geom',
        'srid' => 4326,
        'properties' => ['id', 'name', 'type', 'height'],
        'min_zoom' => 12,
        'max_zoom' => 18,
    ],
],
```

**Fluent API:**

```
use ItsJustVita\VectorTiles\Facades\VectorTiles;

// In a service provider's boot() method
VectorTiles::layer('buildings')
    ->from(Building::query()->where('status', 'published'))
    ->geometry('geom')
    ->properties(['id', 'name', 'type', 'height'])
    ->minZoom(12)
    ->maxZoom(18);
```

Tiles are served at `GET /tiles/{layer}/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt`.

### Auth-Aware Tiles

[](#auth-aware-tiles)

Combine middleware for access control with scopes for per-user data filtering:

```
VectorTiles::layer('buildings')
    ->from(Building::query())
    ->middleware(['auth:sanctum'])
    ->scope(fn (Builder $query, ?User $user) =>
        $user?->isAdmin() ? $query : $query->where('owner_id', $user?->id)
    );
```

### Cache Invalidation

[](#cache-invalidation)

Tile cache is automatically flushed when observed models change:

```
VectorTiles::layer('buildings')
    ->from(Building::query())
    ->invalidateOn(Building::class);
```

### GeoJSON Endpoint

[](#geojson-endpoint)

Each layer also exposes a GeoJSON endpoint with required bounding box filtering:

```
GET /geojson/{layer}?bbox=9.0,48.0,9.5,48.5&limit=500

```

### MapLibre Integration

[](#maplibre-integration)

Generate source configuration for MapLibre GL JS:

```
$source = VectorTiles::maplibreSource('buildings');
// Returns: ['type' => 'vector', 'tiles' => [...], 'minzoom' => 12, 'maxzoom' => 18]

$allSources = VectorTiles::maplibreSources();
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

KeyDefaultDescription`prefix``tiles`URL prefix for tile routes`middleware``[]`Global middleware for all routes`cache.enabled``true`Enable tile caching`cache.store``null`Cache store (null = default)`cache.ttl``3600`Cache TTL in seconds`geojson.prefix``geojson`URL prefix for GeoJSON routes`geojson.default_limit``1000`Default feature limit`geojson.max_limit``5000`Maximum feature limitTesting
-------

[](#testing)

The package provides a fake driver for testing without PostGIS:

```
use ItsJustVita\VectorTiles\Facades\VectorTiles;

VectorTiles::fake();

$response = $this->get('/tiles/buildings/14/8532/5765.mvt');
$response->assertOk();

VectorTiles::assertTileRequested('buildings', 14, 8532, 5765);
```

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The package uses PostGIS functions `ST_AsMVT` and `ST_AsMVTGeom` to render vector tiles server-side. Eloquent query builders are supported as layer sources, enabling standard Laravel scopes, relations, and authorization patterns to control tile content.

Tile caching uses Laravel's cache system with a key-registry approach for efficient per-layer flushing. Model observers can automatically invalidate cached tiles when source data changes.
