The mapgl R package makes the latest versions of Mapbox GL JS and MapLibre GL JS available to R users. The package interface is designed to make the powerful capabilities of both libraries available in R mapping projects, but also feel similar to users coming from other R mapping packages.
Install the development version from GitHub with the following command:
remotes::install_github("walkerke/mapgl")A CRAN release is forthcoming shortly.
