React integration

[mikolaszko]

Hi :)
I am aware that this is a shelved project but I was just wondering, how hard is it/would be to integrate this plugin with react-leaflet? I might need it for my professional work and I am just curious

@mabhub or @Bo-Duke or @dtrucs might be able to answer this question ?

This is not an abandoned lib, we still use it in some projects.

It is indeed far from shelved, we actually have updates planned!

The demo and Readme will soon be updated to show that the project is very well alive 😉

Concerning React-leaflet, it's not something planned for the moment but it can be if the work involved is manageable? Do you know what you need for it to be usable with React-leaflet? Do you have examples of other plugins? IIRC, most big plugins have a dedicated react version.

@Bo-Duke currently only about only ~11-20 plugins have been developed for the newest react-leaflet version and that just seems really limiting. (that's whats listed on the NPM for the v4 and I know that react-leaflet-draw is not listed on there) I don't know the whole scope so far, but svelte would probably integrate easily with all of the original leaflet plugins like yours!
I will definitely need to display user updated images as maps, to be able to draw on them (I know this is possible to do with react-leaflet and react-leaflet-draw) and the snap functionality when drawing polygonal shapes on top of all the other things that I will review once I get the spec. I am not expecting the team behind this package to implement anything to make this happen but just by nature if everything requires a wrapper for react to work it will be much more difficult and time consuming 😅

@babastienne @Bo-Duke the master branch hasn't been updated for year and a half and I realize that open source work is difficult and time consuming but thats from where my assumption came
