Difference between label and popup in addmarkers in leaflet

Question

What is the difference between label and popup in addMarkers() in the leaflet?

Comments

Hi, I have a question regarding popups for markers. Label in leaflet displays a message when hovered over markers in the map whereas popup displays message when clicked on the marker. Both are used within Marker functions.

Hi,

You are right. In Map, we generally use a popup. It means when we place the cursor in the Map, it will automatically show a popup in real-time.

Hey, its quite simple.

Label in leaflet displays a message when hovered over markers in the map whereas popup displays message when clicked on the marker. Both are used within Marker functions. 

Ex: In the belw example, The below message is showed by label and the upper message is popup message when clicked on the marker.

long = c(77.6944,77.7141,77.679907)
lat = c(12.9811,12.9675,13.0118285)
label = c("My Office","My College","My House")
add = data.frame(label,long,lat)

m <- leaflet(add) %>% addTiles()
m %>% addMarkers(label = ~label,popup =  ~label)
