Description

Target Use case

A localTileFile layer would make it far easier for general users to work with deck.gl, by simplifying the process of accessing local {z}/{x}/{y} tile data. Being able to create application that work from a single machine particularly with sensitive local data is a major use case

Proposed feature

Suggest creating a LocalTileFile layer similar to what has been done recently in Ipyleaflet see https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference/local_tile_layer.html

Research direction

Start by reviewing deck.gl's existing layer implementations and the linked ipyleaflet LocalTileLayer documentation. Clarify the expected API for accessing local {z}/{x}/{y} tile data, then define the coding, documentation, what's-new, and test work needed for a complete LocalTileFile feature.
