AOI 
AOI helps create reproducible, programmatic boundaries for analysis and
mapping workflows. The package targets five main use cases:
1. Term based geocoding
AOI uses tidygeocoder as a backend for term-based geooding and
Wikipedia APIs. If you have more ridgid addresses tidygeocoder is
great!

4. View and Draw
NOTE: The following functions require leaflet, shiny and
leaflelt.extras. Since these are Suggested Dependencies you will need to
install them yourself in warnings appear.
Sometimes it is useful to view the created AOIs. aoi_map offers a
quickly formatted leaflet map (not all that dissimilar from mapview
so this may retire).
AOI = geocode(geo = c("Paris", "Amsterdam", "Prague", "England"), pt = TRUE)
aoi_map(AOI, returnMap = TRUE)
Alternatively sometimes users need very specific AOIs that are not
POINTs, bounding boxes, or fiat boundaries. For this AOI provides
aoi_draw() which allows users to interactively draw an Area of
Interest (AOI) using a shiny app. Once an object is drawn and the “Save
AOI” button pressed, a new sf object called ‘aoi’ will appear in your
environment.
aoi_draw()
Using the aoi_draw() interface
5. Programmatic way to interface with other R packages that require user defined AOIs or bounding boxes
The need for AOI’s is rampant in the r-spatial community. AOI plays
nicely with the following non-exhaustive list helping users be to the
meat of their utilities without getting hung up on boundary definition.

4. View and Draw
NOTE: The following functions require leaflet, shiny and leaflelt.extras. Since these are Suggested Dependencies you will need to install them yourself in warnings appear.
Sometimes it is useful to view the created AOIs. aoi_map offers a
quickly formatted leaflet map (not all that dissimilar from mapview
so this may retire).
AOI = geocode(geo = c("Paris", "Amsterdam", "Prague", "England"), pt = TRUE)
aoi_map(AOI, returnMap = TRUE)
Alternatively sometimes users need very specific AOIs that are not
POINTs, bounding boxes, or fiat boundaries. For this AOI provides
aoi_draw() which allows users to interactively draw an Area of
Interest (AOI) using a shiny app. Once an object is drawn and the “Save
AOI” button pressed, a new sf object called ‘aoi’ will appear in your
environment.

Using the aoi_draw() interface
5. Programmatic way to interface with other R packages that require user defined AOIs or bounding boxes
The need for AOI’s is rampant in the r-spatial community. AOI plays nicely with the following non-exhaustive list helping users be to the meat of their utilities without getting hung up on boundary definition.
