Adding map pins for an indicator - Vanuatu-National-Statistics-Office/vnso-nsdp-platform GitHub Wiki

Adding map pins to an indicator requires two files:

A CSV file containing the latitude, longitude, and any other data for each pin. Each pin is a row in the file. Here is an example:
```
 longitude,latitude,Total enrollment
 168.123286,-16.136503,59
 168.16987,-16.111063,46
```
A YAML file in the map-points folder. These need to be named according to the indicator that they apply to. For example, if the map pins are for a standalone indicator called school-attendance, then the file needs to be called school-attendance.yml. Here is an example:
```
 map_points:
   - input: geojson/points/schools.csv
     output: school-attendance-locations.geojson
     label: Schools
```

Some notes about the parameters in the map_points configuration above:

input: This must be the path to the CSV file described above.
output: This is an arbitrary file name of the geojson file that will be generated.
label: This determines the label of the button on the map to view the pins.

Here is a step-by-step guide to adding pins to an indicator. All of the filenames and labels are examples. We will assume the indicator is called "my-indicator".

Create a CSV file containing columns for latitude, longitude, and at least one other column (eg "Name"). Give it at least one row, with real lat/long coordinates and some text in the other column. For example:
```
 longitude,latitude,Name
 168.123286,-16.136503,Location 1
 168.16987,-16.111063,Location 2
```
Name the CSV file my-point-data.csv and upload it to the repository in the "geojson/points" folder.

Create a new file called my-indicator.yml and give it the following content:

 map_points:
   - input: geojson/points/my-point-data.csv
     output: my-indicator-pins.geojson
     label: Pins for my indicator

Upload it to the "map-points" folder.
