Plugin for Heatmap Layers

[karmflo]

Hello,

first of all, thanks a lot for all the amazing features offered by dash-leaflet for python! Thumbs up!

Since 3 years I am developing an Application that includes several tabs with one dl.MapContainer used in each tab. Up until now I was able to develop all requests from my client. But I guess now I got stuck with the implementation of a heatmap layer into the MapContainer. After some research I understand, that heatmap plugins exist https://leafletjs.com/plugins.html#heatmaps but they're currently not implemented into the dash-leaflet framefwork for python. Two of them seam to fit my use case: https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.heat and https://www.patrick-wied.at/static/heatmapjs/plugin-leaflet-layer.html.

Unfortunately I do not know how much effort is the integration, but it would be really amazing to also have a heatmap layer :)

I think it would be a great addition to dash-leaflet. Unfortunately, I don't have bandwidth to initiate the development at the moment, but I'll be happy to look at a PR :)

What a pity :(.

Is there maybe a possibility to add a heatmap layer to the dl.MapContainer with dl.GeoJSON? Because I already use the dl.GeoJSON layer for most of our data.
