Description

It would be nice to be able to zip up a bunch of geojson files or a bunch of shape files so when they are uploaded to Mapbox you get 1 Tileset with multiple layers, as opposed to uploading them all separately and getting a new Tileset for each file. The only way I know to achieve this currently is to use the legacy Mapbox Studio Classic.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by inspecting how this Node module handles uploaded GeoJSON and shapefiles, then determine how a zip containing multiple datasets should be represented. Done means one uploaded archive produces a single tileset with multiple layers instead of separate tilesets.
