WFS with geographic coordinates

Example of using WFS with a Tile strategy.

This example loads new features from GeoServer WFS with a tile based loading strategy. Calling the useGeographic function in the 'ol/proj' module makes it so the map view uses geographic coordinates (even if the view projection is not geographic).

main.js

import 'ol/ol.css';
import GeoJSON from 'ol/format/GeoJSON';
import Map from 'ol/Map';
import VectorSource from 'ol/source/Vector';
import View from 'ol/View';
import XYZ from 'ol/source/XYZ';
import {Stroke, Style} from 'ol/style';
import {Tile as TileLayer, Vector as VectorLayer} from 'ol/layer';
import {createXYZ} from 'ol/tilegrid';
import {tile} from 'ol/loadingstrategy';
import {useGeographic} from 'ol/proj';

useGeographic();

const vectorSource = new VectorSource({
  format: new GeoJSON(),
  url: function (extent) {
    return (
      'https://ahocevar.com/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&' +
      'version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typename=osm:water_areas&' +
      'outputFormat=application/json&srsname=EPSG:4326&' +
      'bbox=' +
      extent.join(',') +
      ',EPSG:4326'
    );
  },
  strategy: tile(createXYZ({tileSize: 512})),
});

const vector = new VectorLayer({
  source: vectorSource,
  style: new Style({
    stroke: new Stroke({
      color: 'rgba(0, 0, 255, 1.0)',
      width: 2,
    }),
  }),
});

const map = new Map({

  target: document.getElementById('map'),
  view: new View({
    center: [-80.0298, 43.4578],
    maxZoom: 19,
