Using custom basemap styles

[zbubric]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a project based on esri-leaflet and would like to use view as arcgis:Imagery (containing both satelite image as well as street routes and names). As far as I can understand, there are three ‘Imagery’ styles of leaflet maps bit none of them contains street grid/names.

Describe the solution you'd like
Option to fine-tune basemap layers used in leaflet (e.g. Possibillity to define composite basemap layers and custom styles).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I presume that street map can be added as feature layer but, on some projects, it is actually a base layer without need to be able to disable/enable street grid (or community borders or whatever)

Additional context
I actually wanted just to ask a question on how to achieve this but, since there is bug/feature direction I didn’t want to post it as a bug. I’m quite new to esri so, if answer to my question is already mentioned in some docs, please, point me to a right direction.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I have a CodePen demo where I use the L.featureGroup to create a basemap that contains imagery and streets.

With this new ArcGIS Platform, if Esri Leaflet will natively support vector basemaps, there is a arcgis-imagery-labels that is available in the Esri JS API. But Esri staff will need to comment on this.

I think what you're asking can be achieved through esri-leaflet-vector:

1. Imagery with labels: https://jsbin.com/menizes/2/edit?html,output
2. Imagery, no labels: https://jsbin.com/menizes/3/edit?html,output
3. Labels only: https://jsbin.com/menizes/5/edit?html,output

We have not done a good job documenting all the basemap names that you can pass via L.esri.Vector.vectorBasemapLayer(...) - I'm sorry for that, we will add those soon. Here they are for now:

1. ArcGIS:Imagery
2. ArcGIS:Imagery:Standard
3. ArcGIS:Imagery:Labels
4. ArcGIS:LightGray
5. ArcGIS:LightGray:Base
6. ArcGIS:LightGray:Labels
7. ArcGIS:DarkGray
8. ArcGIS:DarkGray:Base
9. ArcGIS:DarkGray:Labels
10. ArcGIS:Navigation
11. ArcGIS:NavigationNight
12. ArcGIS:Streets
13. ArcGIS:StreetsNight
14. ArcGIS:StreetsRelief
15. ArcGIS:Topographic
16. ArcGIS:Oceans
17. ArcGIS:Oceans:Base
18. ArcGIS:Oceans:Labels
19. OSM:Standard
20. OSM:StandardRelief
21. OSM:StandardRelief:Base
22. OSM:Streets
23. OSM:StreetsRelief
24. OSM:LightGray
25. OSM:LightGray:Base
26. OSM:LightGray:Labels
27. OSM:DarkGray
28. OSM-DarkGray:Base
29. OSM-DarkGray:Labels
30. ArcGIS:Terrain
31. ArcGIS:Terrain:Base
32. ArcGIS:Terrain:Detail
33. ArcGIS:Community
34. ArcGIS:ChartedTerritory
35. ArcGIS:ColoredPencil
36. ArcGIS:Nova
37. ArcGIS:ModernAntique
38. ArcGIS:Midcentury
39. ArcGIS:Newspaper
40. ArcGIS:Hillshade:Light
41. ArcGIS:Hillshade:Dark

Hi @gavinr

First of all, thank you for a prompt reaction and provided examples, I will dig into them.
However, when reading through #1160 I found that leaflet-vector is officially deprecated and strongly not recommended for use in production?

[jwasilgeo]

@zbubric sorry for any confusion. We are reviewing and making sure our documentation and guidance is updated soon. We are not deprecating the esri-leaflet-vector plugin and just released a new version (v3) which @gavinr is referring to above.

Thx for clarification. I'll try it!
