Leaflet.Ellipse VS react-leaflet

If you use React-Leaflet in your mapping applications, there may come a time when you need to display data in the form of an ellipse on your map. Leaflet does not provide an ellipse marker by default, which means that React-Leaflet does not supply one either. In the Leaflet plugins section of the Leaflet documentation, there is a plugin called Leaflet.Ellipse that allows users to create an ellipse in a vanilla Leaflet app. But, how does one get this plugin to work with their React-Leaflet app?

Check out React Leaflet https://react-leaflet.js.org/

But in the case of React Leaflet, you may need to put in some more efforts.

You might wanna check out Leaflet (https://leafletjs.com/) which is a free, open-source library for interactive maps. Combine that with React-Leaflet (https://react-leaflet.js.org/) for seamless React integration. You can find Pond/Lake GeoJSON data at https://gis.mass.gov/ and load it into your map to make it interactive. Good luck!

Leaflet has many official and third party plugins and wrappers. Since we’re using React, we can use React Leaflet which provides components for rendering Leaflet maps in React.

Do you need to just make an image that looks like a map, or do you need to make an actual map (i.e. derived from spatial data)? I think leaflet is still the go to OSS webmap library, and will do hexbins. It has a react version.

I wanted to update the react-leaflet version in my project. On the github and npm page for the package it says the latest version is 4.2 https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-leaflet. When I ran an npm update react-leaflet it updated the version from 3.0.1 to 3.2.5. Why isn't it 4.2?
