I am using GeoServer and OpenLayers 6, and I am trying to use a certain symbology which i defined in GeoServer using SLD. It works well when I use WMS service, but I couldn't find a way to make it works with WFS service.

I found that in ArcGIS server you can apply a symoboly to a Feature Layer, and make edits on it like in this demo:

Is there a way to do this using GeoServer and OpenLayers?

WFS sends the raw data to your client, which is responsible for the styling, so this is entirely expected behaviour.

  • The problem is that openlayers is very limited in styling. is there any JS library can help doing this ?

  • There are some third party utilities which can convert between SLD and OpenLayers styles github.com/geostyler/geostyler github.com/nieuwlandgeo/sldreader

WFS has no support for providing client-side styling information. The OGC API - Features can have those links, especially when coupled with an https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogcapi-styles service. The styling part is still in draft stage though.
