Description
Hi,
I am trying to convert this geom_sf plot to plotly, but I keep receiving an error:
library(ggplot2)
library(sf)
library(geojsonsf)
library(plotly)
dk_map <- geojson_sf("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moestrup/covid19/master/test.json")
mainland <- ggplot(data=dk_map) +
geom_sf()
mainland
ggplotly(mainland)
sessionInfo()
Gives the following output:
> dk_map <- geojson_sf("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moestrup/covid19/master/test.json")
> mainland <- ggplot(data=dk_map) +
+ geom_sf()
> mainland

> ggplotly(mainland)
Error in st_coordinates.sfc(sf::st_geometry(model)) :
not implemented for objects of class sfc_GEOMETRY

I thought this was related to issue #1659, and tried installing the newest version of plotly from github (4.9.2.9000) but am still seeing the error above.

Research direction
Start with the supplied ggplotly(mainland) reproducer and the st_coordinates.sfc error for sf::st_geometry(model). Trace how geom_sf data reaches the ggplotly entry point, then determine how sfc_GEOMETRY objects are handled. Done means the reproducer converts without the reported error and produces the expected interactive map.
