I added a leaflet TextPath plugin to a brilliant application similar to this example . This works very well:
output$fullscreen_map <- renderLeaflet({
points <- points_reactive()
points %>%
leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
fitBounds(~min(lon), ~min(lat), ~max(lon), ~max(lat)) %>%
registerPlugin(textPathPlugin) %>%
onRender("function(el, x, data) {
data = HTMLWidgets.dataframeToD3(data);
data = data.map(function(val) { return [val.lat, val.lon]; });
var layer = L.polyline(data);
layer.on('mouseover', function () {
this.setText(' ► ', {repeat: true, attributes: {fill: 'blue'}});
});
layer.on('mouseout', function () {
this.setText(null);
});
layer.addTo(this);
}", data = points)
})
According to the docs, now I would like to use leafletProxy()so that the whole map is not redrawn whenever the reactive data source changes. Alas, using the following code snippet
leafletProxy("fullscreen_map", data = points) %>%
onRender("function(el, x, data) {
data = HTMLWidgets.dataframeToD3(data);
data = data.map(function(val) { return [val.lat, val.lon]; });
var layer = L.polyline(data);
layer.on('mouseover', function () {
this.setText(' ► ', {repeat: true, attributes: {fill: 'blue'}});
});
layer.on('mouseout', function () {
this.setText(null);
});
layer.addTo(this);
}", data = points)
It does not work properly. I assume that this is due to the fact that it onRenderis called only when a new rendering appears, and the whole point leafletProxyshould not be displayed again? If this is correct, is there a way to do this using other methods?
