import { Maps,Highlight,IShapeSelectedEventArgs,shapeSelected,Marker} from '@syncfusion/ej2-maps';
Maps.Inject(Highlight,Marker );

export interface ShapeData {
    continent?: string;
}

// Initialize Maps component.
let map: Maps = new Maps({
    shapeSelected: (args: IShapeSelectedEventArgs): void => {
        let shape: string = (args.shapeData as ShapeData).continent;
        if (shape === 'Africa') {
            map.baseLayerIndex = 1;
            map.refresh();
        }
    },
    layers: [
        {
            layerType: 'Geometry',
            shapeData: world_map,
            shapePropertyPath: 'continent',
            shapeDataPath: 'continent',
            dataSource:default_data,
            shapeSettings: {
                colorValuePath: 'drillColor'
            },
            markerSettings: [{
                visible: true,
                template: '<div id="marker3" class="markerTemplate">Africa' +
