Class L.TomTomVectorLayer

Tile layer for Leaflet that use the vector online maps from TomTom.

The current vector renderer implementation is based on the Mapbox GL JS library.

The recommended way to use vector maps is by using the "source" option of L.Map which will create an instance if this class and immediately attach it to the newly created map instance.
