I am trying to produce a reactive NZ map (using tmap package) based on selectInput. Is it possible to have the border around the selected input region filled/highlighted as shown?
The data used is nz data obtained from the spdata package. I prefer using this data over GADM data because the nz data has the 16 regions that I want to use for the application's purpose. I am still very new to mapping in general and mapping in R shiny in particular so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
