Add a published vector tile layer to an existing map.
A vector tile layer is a hosted data layer . The data is vector tile data. You can create a vector tile layer by publishing your data with data management tools .
In this tutorial, you display a parcels layer from a public vector tile service , using the default styling.
Prerequisites You need a free ArcGIS developer account to access your dashboard and API keys . The API key must be scoped to access the services used in this tutorial.
Steps Create a new pen To get started, either complete the Display a map tutorial or use this pen . Set the API key To access ArcGIS services , you need an API key .
Go to your dashboard to get an API key .
In CodePen , set the apiKey to your key, so it can be used to access basemap layer and location services.

esriConfig.apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY" ;
const map = new Map ({
basemap : "arcgis-topographic" // Basemap layer service
});
Add modules In the require statement, add the VectorTileLayer
More info The ArcGIS API for JavaScript uses AMD modules . The require function is used to load modules so they can be used in the main function. It's important to keep the module references and function parameters in the same order.
