Is it possible to get the lat long from a click event in leaflet/shiny (in R) from the tile map? (i.e. NOT from any loaded markers, polygons etc). Just to show positional (lat/long) info i guess.
I thought maybe from this qu it was possible but no luck.
ui <- bootstrapPage(
tags$style(type = "text/css", "html, body {width:100%;height:100%}"),
leafletOutput("map", width = "100%", height = "100%")
)
server <- function(input, output,session) {
output$map <- renderLeaflet({
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles("CartoDB.Positron")%>%
setView(lng = -4, lat= 52.54, zoom = 7)
})
#Show popup on click
observeEvent(input$map_marker_click, {
click <- input$map_marker_click
text<-paste("Lattitude ", click$lat, "Longtitude ", click$lng)
proxy <- leafletProxy("map")
proxy %>% clearPopups() %>%
addPopups(click$lng, click$lat, text)
})
}
runApp(shinyApp(ui, server), launch.browser = TRUE)
Ultimately i want to create a click marker for raster data (using the returned lat/long) in Leaflet & Shiny but this would be a good start (This qu seems to have done something but i cannot recreate it at all).
