Interaction between Polygons in Leaflet and Datatable

[pabuta]

My goal is to be able to click on a polygon and the datatable renders automatically and only shows the corresponding values? Similar to what is done here with plotly.

Is this possible? What I tried so far is the following:

sd <- some_spatial_dataframe %>% SharedData$new()

sd_df <- some_spatial_dataframe %>% data.frame() %>% SharedData$new(group = sd$groupName())

crosstalk::bscols( leaflet(sd) %>% addProviderTiles("CartoDB.Positron") %>% addPolygons(), DT::datatable(data = sd_df) )

Unfortunately, this doesn't work at all. There is no interaction between leaflet and datatable.

the same issue for me

the solution was found in here:

devtools::install_github("dmurdoch/leaflet@crosstalk4")

That example is using plotly::plot_mapbox(), not leaflet.

Is there any chance of reviving https://github.com/rstudio/leaflet/pull/499 @jcheng5? That would be really valuable...

Indeed, I put my comment there: https://github.com/rstudio/leaflet/pull/499#issuecomment-1337584064 It would be awesome to have this feature implemented. Thanks in advance.
