Kepler.gl: Geocoder Search

Created on 8 Apr 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: keplergl/kepler.gl

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no location based search for kepler.gl

Describe the solution you'd like
Using react-mapbox-geocoder and additional changes in UI, ie Interaction panel.
Additional kepler-gl.js panel will be added to layout which will appear in the top center of UI.
It will be a simple type-ahead text box with 5 relevant items in dropdown to pick. When user will select the item new hidden datasource and layer will be added, red pin will appear in the provided location. It can be removed by pressing a times icon in the Geocoder panel

Describe alternatives you've considered
For our data visualization tool we have implemented this feature through the wrapper.

Additional context
POC already in WIP state

Love it! Will take a look today. Thanks!

This is a great feature. The pin is wrong though. It is anchored by its center rather than the base. This makes it confusing as the user zooms out.

This is how icon layer is rendered. @heshan0131 any suggestions?
