Integrating Leafmap into a Shiny for Python Application

[diehl]

Is it possible to integrate Leafmap into a Shiny for Python application, particularly one supporting interactive exploration? I would want to get click events sent back to the application at a minimum. Being able to annotate the map would be next level.

Here is a shiny-leafmap example: https://huggingface.co/spaces/giswqs/shiny-leafmap

Thank you @giswqs for the quick reply!

@giswqs Must one use the ipyleaflet backend to integrate Leafmap with Shiny for Python?

[giswqs]

I am not an active Shiny user. Not sure about this. If Shiny supports HTML, I guess it should work fine for most leafmap mapping backends.

@giswqs Roger that. I noticed the Python bindings for MapLibre support Shiny integration. https://eoda-dev.github.io/py-maplibregl/shiny/ So I thought it might be possible for Leafmap as well.
