Integrate Leaflet.label plugin about leafletr HOT 7 CLOSED

Uh - when there's time, why not... :-)

That would be awesome! I tried to figure out how to incorporate the additional functionality within your brew files but soon realized that my lack of expertise in Javascript/HTML (Leaflet in particular) was going to present some pretty large hurdles. Thanks for bridging the gap for R programmers 👍

By the way, what do you want to do exactly? As leafletR is for visualizing your (R-) data, what shall the labels show - properties of the data, like a mouseover-popup? Or do you want to add extra markers/shapes with labels?

Primarily, the former; I'd love to be able to choose either a static label or mouseover-popup and add that to an existing layer.

+1 for the ability to add extra markers/shapes with labels!

It would be useful for adding static identification information to maps when the mouse-over popup is already dedicated to revealing other information.

For example, I'm creating a map of census data which shows a choropleth at the tract level. I'm utilizing mouse-over popup to provide detailed information about each individual census tract. However, when the viewer is zoomed out it would be useful to clearly identify the different counties – that's where this static label feature would help me out.

Thanks for the great package!

Hi @onehundredpercenttexan and @tiernanmartin,
I put some work into this and now you can use labels.

library(leafletR)
dat <- toGeoJSON(data=quakes[1:10,], dest=tempdir())
map <- leaflet(data=dat, dest=tempdir(), popup="stations", label="mag")
map

Unfortunately it does not work with lines and polygons. Seems to be a problem of the plugin. Mayby @jacobtoye can tell us, whether Leaflet.label works with GeoJSON-polygons loaded via query.
