I have seen tooltips in Dash Leaflet, but haven’t seen bound labels to the features in dl.GeoJSON. Is there a way to do that?
I would think using labels in addition to, or instead of, markers would be common.
Thanks

Just add a property with the name ‘tooltip’ to the data, then it should render autonatically.

Is the info in the tooltip field visible only when the feature is moused over, rather than a permanent label?
Thanks

Ran across this old message. I discovered my error, which was simply creating a tooltip column that was equal to another column, but that other column was numeric. By creating a string that uses the other column, it works.
Thanks
