Load GeoJson Map to capabilities.json
Hello, I'm currently developing a custom visual, so I'm looking to load a geojson map through capabilities.json. My question is: how can I achieve that ? Shall I just consider the map as measure ...

Regarding the first question you should follow these steps:
- Take a look at this topic to find out more about JS File API
- Define a text property at capabilities.json
"objects": { "internalState": { "displayName": "Internal State", "properties": { "geojsonMap": { "displayName": "geojsonMap", "type": { "text": true } } } } }- Call persistProperties method of host
function save(host: IVisualHost, value: string) { host.persistProperties(<VisualObjectInstancesToPersist>{ merge: [{ objectName: "internalState", selector: null, properties: { geojsonMap: value || "" } }] }); }Regarding the second question.
You should prepare type definitions for you function. Another way is to use TS file instead of JS.

Hello Anonymous
Do you want to load json file from local computer or do you want to save it using Power BI Data sets?

Either way, for now, I just want to display a custom map. So it can either be load from a local file, or through a drap and drop via Power BI.
Thank you for your help :)
