Description

Will Mapbox add support for JupyterLab?

Take a look at ipyleaflet in how they create the nbextensions

https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet#installation

It seems that Mapbox created this quick prototype but its not keeping up with Jupyter development. A fully interactive Mapbox JupyterLab widget would be amazing for DataScience.

This means moving away from your IFrame to a 1st class citizen widget in Jupyter with all of the on_hover, on_click, etc interactive events.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing IFrame prototype and the ipyleaflet nbextensions installation guidance. Compare that approach with the current Jupyter integration; done means a first-class JupyterLab widget replacing the IFrame and supporting the requested on_hover and on_click events.
