ChoroplethMap Props

geojson: The GeoJSON object to use
data: Data object with the information to show on the map
titleKey: Property of the data object to show when you hover over a certain region of your map (e.g. state_name)
geojsonIdKey: Property under the properties array of the GeoJSON that serves as identifier of each region of the map.
idKey: Property of the data object that matches the geojsonIdKey value.
value: JS object with two properties, key: that maps to the data property that contains the value domain set (e.g. amount) and metric: that maps to the data property that describes the unit that you're working on (e.g. "% of students")
extraValues: Array of value objects that show additional information of a certain region of the map.
center: Geographic coordinates of the map initial center (e.g. [-23.752961, -57.854357])
colorScale: Array of hex color codes to fill each region of the map with. At the minimum you need to specify two colors, the one to use with the lowest values and another one to use with the highest values. (e.g. ["e7d090", "de7062"])
mapStyle: CSS style of the map.
zoom: With how much zoom to init the map.
mapOptions: Additional leaflet Map options. (e.g. {attributionControl: false})

The ChoroplethMap component pass the this information through its default slot:

currentItem: Current item on focus
unit: metric associated with the value
min: The lowest value on the domain set
max: The highest value on the domain set

As seen on the example, usually you'll pass these values to the InfoControl and ReferenceChart components.

InfoControl props

This is the current item information view.

item: Item to show information about
unit: Metric to use while displaying information
title: Description about what each item of the map is (e.g. "State")
placeholder: Placeholder text to show when no element is currently selected
position: Where to render the component. With values allowed here (default: "bottomleft")

ReferenceChart props

title: Short description to show as reference of the information described by the map (e.g. "Population density")
colorScale: Same prop as used on ChoroplethMap component
min: The lowest value represented on the visualization
max: The highest value represented on the visualization
position: Where to render the component. With values allowed here (default: "topright")
