Draw hexagon tiles over the map

Hi, I'm looking for ways to draw a set of hexagons on the map. To be precise, I want to predefine the hexes to always match the same area on the map, in other words, cover the whole world map in hexes. Is this possible?

Here's an equivalent issue of what I'm after https://github.com/mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl/issues/956
