Add buttons to perform actions on the leaflet map

Question

Can anyone help me explain how to add buttons to perform actions on the leaflet map?

Answer 1

@ch,

You can add easy buttons to add small JS events using addEasyButton() function.

Check out the below example -

leaflet() %>% addTiles() %>%
  addEasyButton(easyButton(
    icon="fa-globe", title="Zoom to Level 1",
    onClick=JS("function(btn, map){ map.setZoom(1); }"))) %>%
  addEasyButton(easyButton(
    icon="fa-crosshairs", title="Locate Me",
    onClick=JS("function(btn, map){ map.locate({setView: true}); }")))
