PyDeck binary transfer with string values

[cornhundred]

Hi, is it possible to use binary transfer with string values that will be used for a tooltip?

I need the user to be able to see the name of a data point in a scatter plot on mouse over. I can get this to work without binary transfer (I can also get binary transfer working without passing the string values column in the dataframe).

Adding an unused column to the dataframe causes an error and I'm unsure if I can add a string column that will be used to show the user the name of a data point on mouse over of a scatter plot. If strings don't work, would I be able to have an integer column that I use to set the color and then use a dictionary for the tooltip to look up the string name of the data point?

Nevermind, it appears that string values are working using version pydeck 0.5.0. I must have done something wrong initially.
