Will Mapbox add support for JupyterLab?
Take a look at ipyleaflet in how they create the nbextensions
https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet#installation
It seems that Mapbox created this quick prototype but its not keeping up with Jupyter development. A fully interactive Mapbox JupyterLab widget would be amazing for DataScience.
This means moving away from your IFrame to a 1st class citizen widget in Jupyter with all of the on_hover, on_click, etc interactive events.
Hi there! Is this something you'd be interested in collaborating on?
@akacarlyann Sorry, it has taken a while but I had to get some other work finished up. Absolutely, collaboration makes better results and makes us consider other use cases.
My rough trajectory is
- Remove iFrame
- Add in jupyter nbextensions extensions
- Add #177 (interactive callbacks).
Maps are great for humans viewing a map but there is so much more thats needed for geospatial data exploration. Interactive Spread Sheets, Bindings between spread sheets+data frames+maps, events allowing selections between spread sheets and the MAP widget itself.
@dprophet I think there was some interest in shifting away from iFrames by other users as well. I haven't really looked into that so it would be cool to see what you come up with!
@akacarlyann I believe @lerenah will be starting on this. Perhaps you 2 want to collaborate together.
@dprophet I'm not a jupyter lab user, but happy to provide input on what's currently implemented in this repo :)
are there any news on this?
we use MapBoxGL in production, and now a little bit with jupyter-lab. i'd like to plot a lot of point-data - i am expecting webGL to help with this a lot
