leafdown

The leafdown package provides drilldown functionality for leaflet choropleths in R Shiny apps.

Installation

You can install the released version of leafdown from CRAN with:

install.packages("leafdown")

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("hoga-it/leafdown")

Documentation

You can find the documentation here.

Features

• Adds drilldown functionality for leaflet choropleths maps.
• Allows the selection of regions/shapes.
• Easy to use and well-integrated into syntax of the leaflet R package.
• Allows communication of the map with other shiny elements (e.g. graphs).
• Computationally efficient as drilldown is only executed for selected regions of interest.

Showcase - Election Map

To showcase the features of the leafdown package we have created a demo app.

This app shows the 2016 us presidential election results as well as some demographic information.
Click here for the full demo app and here for the documentation.

Showcase - healthdown

The healthdown app allows interactive comparison of various health factors at the U.S. state and county level. It was honored as “Runners up” in the Shiny Contest 2021.

Showcase - Weather stations

This app allows interactive comparison of weather station measurements between states, counties and individual stations. It was primarily developed for Andreas’ talk at the rstudio::conf(2022), where he demonstrated the capabilities of the leafdown package.
