Description

Sorry for asking a question here, but I didn't find any other place.

Is there a way to use vector tiles as opposed to raster tiles out of the box? All the examples in the documentation use raster tiles.

I'm currently using the Mapbox plugin which also loads Maptiler vector tiles without any problems, but it forces me to include mapboxgl-js which is bad for my bundle size.

Any hints are appreciated.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the documentation examples, which currently show raster tiles, and the Mapbox plugin usage described in the issue. Determine whether vector tiles are supported without mapboxgl-js; if not, the work would need a defined implementation scope and a way to verify native vector-tile support.
