Saving a Map

# Store leaflet map in object
m <- leaflet() %>% 
     addTiles() %>%
     addMarkers(data = ipeds,
                clusterOptions = markerClusterOptions()) %>% 
     addPolygons(data = shp)

# save leaflet object as html file
library(htmlwidgets)

saveWidget(m, file="myMap.html")

Let's practice!
