Overview

About

Maintained by Tim AppelhansFirst published 2026-02-181 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions and necessary 'JavaScript' bindings to quickly transfer spatial data from R memory or remote URLs to the browser for use in interactive 'HTML' widgets created with the 'htmlwidgets' R package. Leverages 'GeoArrow' (https://geoarrow.org/) data representation for data stored in local R memory which is generally faster than traditional 'GeoJSON' by minimising the amount of copy, serialization and deserialization steps necessary for the data transfer. Furthermore, provides functionality and 'JavaScript' bindings to consume 'GeoParquet' (https://geoparquet.org/) files from remote URLs in the browser.

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-geoarrowWidget

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
