MapLabels.html.svelte component

Adds HTML text labels based on features in the data or a custom GeoJSON Feature Collection.

Param Default Required Description
projection Function None
yes
A D3 projection function. Pass this in as an uncalled function, e.g. projection={geoAlbersUsa}.
getLabel (d: any) => string None
yes
Returns the label text for a feature.
getCoordinates (d: any) => [number, number] None
yes
Returns the [x, y] coordinate pair to project for a feature, e.g. d => d.geometry.coordinates.
fixedAspectRatio (number | undefined) None
no
By default, the map fills to fit the k.width and k.height. If instead you want a fixed-aspect ratio, like for a server-side rendered map, set that here.
features (Array<Object> | undefined) None
no
A list of labels as GeoJSON features. If unset, the plotted features will default to those in k.data.features, assuming this field is a list of GeoJSON features.

Used in these examples:
