How about dynamically generated GeoJSON-VT vector tiles?

[ghost]

I understand the mapbox vector tile layer reads pbf files. Why not generate them on-the-fly? https://www.mapbox.com/blog/introducing-geojson-vt/

More generally, I would vote for a provider interface over bundling GeoJSON-VT. Honestly, I think the library could benefit from an API between data fetching/parsing and rendering, something like getFeatures(z, x, y): VectorTileFeature[]. This would make it trivial to write different data providers, including a thin wrapper for a GeoJSON-VT source.

I agree, my use case involves both on-the-fly and precalculated vector tiles.
