Test: map Teaching Regulation Agency data using Crosstalk

The tool

The tool is available here: https://matt-dray.github.io/nctl-teaching-schools/

Background

This repo contains a test of crosstalk for inter-widget interactivity between a leaflet map and datatable interactive tables and filters in a flexdashboard layout.

Crosstalk is an add-on to the htmlwidgets package. It extends htmlwidgets with a set of classes, functions, and conventions for implementing cross-widget interactions (currently, linked brushing and filtering).

Selections in one htmlwidget will update the other htmlwidget. This behaviour allows for creation of simple tools that can be shared as HTML without the need for Shiny and a hosting service.
