I am trying to get a leaflet map to display a choropleth map using d3. I have written this code using samples I have found however the map just displays as the black fill, not the color classes I defined. This is the code I am using. Anyone have an idea about what I'm doing wrong?

Difficult to understand what is really going on here without fiddling with some live code, but have you checked the console for errors?

if (population) { //If value exists…

As a guess, this bit of code looks wrong. population looks like an undefined variable to me, so probably the code errors here and nothing gets styled. Maybe try d.properties.population instead?

  • I think you are right. I'm going to try that and see if it works. The console error I get is SyntaxError: syntax error
