Examples

# NOT RUN {
## leaflet label display options
library(leaflet)

lopt = labelOptions(noHide = TRUE,
                    direction = 'top',
                    textOnly = TRUE)

## Add labels on a Leaflet map

indata <- sf::st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf"))

leaflet(indata) %>%
  addProviderTiles("OpenStreetMap") %>%
  addFeatures(.) %>%
  addStaticLabels(., label = indata$NAME)

Modify styling -

leaflet(indata) %>%
  addProviderTiles("OpenStreetMap") %>%
  addFeatures(.) %>%
  addStaticLabels(., label = indata$NAME,
                    style = list("color" = "red", "font-weight" = "bold"))

# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
