LeafGL Nationwide Map
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I've run into some issues embedding the nationwide Dep Index map on the Readme. It looks like .md files don't really support html widgets and I can't find any workarounds, so I've thought of a couple other options:
- Leave as is
- I made a .rmd version of the Readme with an html output that includes the interactive map. Is there any way use that as the Readme?
- Would it be worthwhile to reorganize the geomarkers list into a github website with the index and all that? We could use the html file as the dep index page
- Leave the static map on the Readme, but make it a clickable link that goes to the interactive map hosted on Shinyapps.io
I think I would vote for the third option if we can't redirect to the working .rmd output, but I'm game for the others or a different approach.
Yes, we can include an html file in the repository for the map and then set up a better way to host this on github pages than we have now. Right now, we are using the simple option of using the README as the homepage, but can setup a whole branch or folder to create a website instead.
Can you push up the Rmd and html file to a separate branch? and then we can think about how to best deploy the site from there through a pull request.
Sounds like a plan - just started the pull request
I think I've got it working, but the html map is just too large to push to github (~128 MB and limit is 100 MB). Trying to work on something to push up soon. After that, we will still need to add a legend to the map and the possibility to use other basemap layers.
i pulled this out into #11 and ended up hosting the map on its own s3 bucket as a website at: http://dep-index.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/
