I had a working R Markdown document using leaflet with a search bar as described here:
https://www.r-bloggers.com/4-tricks-for-working-with-r-leaflet-and-shiny/
Now the search bar renders BEHIND the leaflet rendering it useless (pun intended). Might be because of updating to R 3.5.0 possibly? Any suggestions welcome.
mainPanel(
width=7, # 12ths of the panel
leafletOutput("map", width="100%", height=480), # can manipulate size here
absolutePanel(top=10, left=70, textInput("search_bar", "" , default_location)) # search bar
)
