Setting Up a Region Mapping Server

Region mapping is the process of matching a value in a CSV file to a pre-defined boundary, such as a postcode, local government area or electorate. The allowed boundaries for a given TerriaJS instance are given in a file such as wwwroot/data/regionMapping.json.

The current method to add a new set of boundaries to TerriaJS is detailed in this repository. You'll find instructions there to create new region mapping boundaries using a zipped shapefile or GeoJSON file as well as instructions you can follow to host the vector tiles on Amazon Web Services in an S3 bucket + CloudFront, but any static file hosting service will work.
