# PlaceElementCreate

***

## Properties

### type

> **type**: `"Place"`

***

### coordinates

> **coordinates**: [`LngLatTuple`](https://developers.felt.com/js-sdk-api-reference/shared/lnglattuple)

***

### groupId?

> `optional` **groupId**: `null` | `string`

The ID of the element group that the element belongs to.\
For elements that are not part of a group, this will be null.

***

### color?

> `optional` **color**: `string`

The color of the element in some CSS-like format.

#### Example

```typescript
"#ABC123";
"rgb(255, 0, 0)";
"hsl(200, 100%, 50%)";
```

#### Default

```ts
"#C93535"
```

***

### name?

> `optional` **name**: `null` | `string`

The element's name. For elements that can show a label or text on\
the map (e.g. a Place or Text element) this is the text that will be shown.

For elements such as Polygons or Paths, the name is what is shown when\
the element is selected by clicking on it.

***

### description?

> `optional` **description**: `null` | `string`

Text describing the element, which is shown in an element's popup when it\
is selected.

Note that some elements are not selectable on the map, such as Notes, Text\
and Markers, so their description will not be shown.

***

### attributes?

> `optional` **attributes**: `Record`<`string`, `unknown`>

A set of key-value pairs that can be used to store arbitrary data about the element.

This is most useful for associating additional data with an element that is not\
part of the element's core data, such as a Place's address or some other\
data.

***

### interaction?

> `optional` **interaction**: `"default"` | `"locked"`

Whether the element is interactive.

The `default` interaction mode means that the element can be selected and edited by\
the user, if it was created by the SDK or by the user using a tool.

If the interaction mode is `locked`, the element will not be editable by the user,\
which is often used for elements that you don't want the user to edit or move by\
accident.

Elements that were created by the map author (i.e. not during an SDK "session") are\
not editable and have special behaviour depending on their name, description and\
attributes.

#### Default

```ts
"default"
```

***

### imageUrl?

> `optional` **imageUrl**: `null` | `string`

The URL of an image that has been added to the element.

***

### symbol?

> `optional` **symbol**: `string`

The symbol that is rendered for the Place.

This can be an emoji by using colon-enclosed characters (e.g. `":smiley:"`)\
or one of the symbols available in Felt's symbol library.

You can see the available symbols in the Felt UI when editing a Place\
by hovering a symbol and converting the tooltip to kebab-case. For example,\
the "Oil barrel" symbol is `oil-barrel`.

***

### frame?

> `optional` **frame**: `null` | `"frame-circle"` | `"frame-square"`

The frame that is rendered around the Place's symbol. This is\
only available for non-emoji symbols.

***

### hideLabel?

> `optional` **hideLabel**: `boolean`

Whether the element's label is hidden on the map. This allows you\
to add a name to the element and can show in popups, but not have\
it visible on the map.

This will also hide the faint placeholder label that is shown when\
an editable Place is selected.

#### Default

```ts
false
```
