Kepler.gl: [Bug] local app crashes if geojson is not in epsg 4326

Created on 4 Jul 2019 · 2Comments · Source: keplergl/kepler.gl

Describe the bug
If I upload a geojson with a crs that is not epsg 4326 to the demo app (running on my local) the app crashes (ie only a white screen)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

run the demo app
upload a geojson saved with a epsg other than 4326
app crashes (white screen of death...)

Expected behavior
It would warn me that my data is not in the correct format

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: osx 10.14.4
Browser chrome
Version latest

Additional context
similar behaviour when I tried to use the jupyter widget (passing in a geopandas dataframe with crs not epsg 4326), except that the widget freezes

Exact same issue here.

OS: Win 10 Home
Browser: Chrome 75.0.3770.100
Python 3.7 (Anaconda 4.7.5)

After converting the crs to 4326 with geopandas, map is loaded properly.

Can Kepler render geodata that is not in WGS84 / EPSG:4326? I tried to do the same with EPSG:2263 GeoDataFrame and the widget or html output does not render unless I reproject to WGS84.
