xarray_leaflet?

[lopezvoliver]

Looking at the load_raster notebook, I initially thought that add_raster worked using xarray_leaflet, but it actually uses localtileserver.

Fortunately, I found out the newest releases of leafmap introduced a way to actually use xarray objects as shown in this notebook. I was wondering if it's feasible to include the array_to_image step within add_raster, so that add_raster may accept xarray objects directly?

I already tried using chunked xarray objects and it works nicely as well, but I was also wondering whether it's possible to leverage a dask client to generate/fetch the tiles faster? I think this is one of the original goals of xarray_leaflet?

Good suggestions! PRs are welcome. Adding xarray support for add_raster should be easy. I have not used use dask extensively. Not quite sure about this part.
