Integration leafmap new feature

[agronomofiorentini]

Dear Creators,
First of all i really enjoy the package that you develop.

I am using this tool every day since i have discovered.

I would like to ask you if whether in your development plans for such a package it is possible to integrate the tools shown in this tweet

It will be great to have it, in order to create on-fly training shapefile for remote sensing AI applications.

If I am not mistaken, this is pretty much what the current (long standing) PR by @mrjoh3 is about... Am I correct @jlerickson?

[mrjoh3]

That's correct, for the PR we have a new function that launches a shiny app with these features. We are almost ready to submit a PR, but I just want to add some more documentation and testing.

@agronomofiorentini if you wish to try it out, install mapedit from the fork using remotes::install_github("mrjoh3/mapedit") then run the code below. Once the app opens select a row in the table then add geometry. I would love to hear how intuitive (or unintuitive) you find the UI

# let's a fake site list
data <- data.frame(
  name = c('SiteA', 'SiteB'),
  type = factor(c('park', 'zoo'), levels = c('park', 'factory', 'zoo', 'warehouse')),
  size = c(35, 45),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)

data_with_added_geometry <- editAttributes(data, zoomto = 'Montana', col_add = T, reset = F)

mapview(data_with_added_geometry)

@tim-salabim I expect to be ready for the PR in the next week or two.

[tim-salabim]

Nice! @mrjoh3 just let me know whenever it's ready & I will hopefully find the time to review and merge :-)

[agronomofiorentini]

It will be a pleasure to test it.

I will report here if something is wrong or otherwise if everything is OK.

Thanks a lot to all of you.

Dear creators i have tried to install the package by using the remotes procedure remotes::install_github("mrjoh3/mapedit") but i have got the follow error

Moreover i have tried to delete and reinstall the mapedit package based on your resource but i have still the same problem.

[mrjoh3]

Hi @agronomofiorentini I have fixed the code indicated by the error

If you have time please try again, can you also let me know what system and R version you are on as I was not getting that error on linux.

thanks

[agronomofiorentini]

Now i could install it and it is working perfectly.

I will work it around, and you will give you a feedback in a while.

My system and R version is the follow

>version
               _

version.string R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01)

From the first approach it is great.

[mrjoh3]

That's great to hear, thanks for letting us know.

I have been using the tool a lot over the last few days and I find it very useful, especially for generating shapefiles which I can then use to train algorithms.

One suggestion is to develop a shiny module that has these integrations.

That would be great, like editMod.

Anyway really thanks

[joshualerickson]

Hey @agronomofiorentini that's a great idea! Right now I'm strapped for time and wouldn't be able to dive in for a while... If you'd like to develop please go for it! @mrjoh3 have any time or interest? Thanks.

[agronomofiorentini]

I have to tell you the truth, I have never developed an R package and perhaps I am not yet so experienced that I can try my hand at it.
But I'll try to get a better understanding of what I can do.

[joshualerickson]

Hey no worries! I might have some time in a couple weeks to take a look and see about a module.

[agronomofiorentini]

Hi there,
Any news about the development of the shiny module?

Thanks, Marco

[joshualerickson]

Oh crap, sorry I hadn't looked into it... I'll try and take a look later this week. Thanks for the reminder!

[tim-salabim]

As a heads-up for everyone, I've merged @mrjoh3 's PR and had to clean it up a little but then was denied the push to the repo because of old ssh keys. I'd advise everyone to wait until I can actually push to the repo again. Probably not before the weekend

[joshualerickson]

Sounds good Tim. If you need any help let me know! And, totally understand about the keys :) no worries.

[joshualerickson]

Hey @agronomofiorentini, I'm sorry but I haven't had time to dive into a module for this. There are a couple of reasons; 1). 'code smell' Jenny Byran. I just don't know if the structure is setup for a module. 2). Time. I just don't have enough time right now to dig into this. I intuit this would be challenging (relates back to 'code smell') and I have a lot of other projects at the top of the list. I'm sorry I can't look into this right now 😒 Take care!
