Easy to use Google Maps in your Flask application
- Jinja
- Flask
- A google api key (optional I guess)
pip install flask-googlemaps
or
git clone https://github.com/rochacbruno/Flask-GoogleMaps
cd Flask-GoogleMaps
python setup.py installFlask-GoogleMaps includes some global functions and template filters in your Jinja environment, also it allows you to use the Map in views if needed.
in your app
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.googlemaps import GoogleMaps
app = Flask(__name__)
GoogleMaps(app)In template
{{googlemap("my_awesome_map", lat=0.23234234, lng=-0.234234234, markers=[(0.12, -0.45345), ...])}}That's it! now you have some template filters and functions to use, more details in examples and screenshot below.
- You can create the map in the view and then send to the template context
- you can use the template functions and filters directly
from flask import Flask, render_template
from flask.ext.googlemaps import GoogleMaps
from flask.ext.googlemaps import Map
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder=".")
GoogleMaps(app)
@app.route("/")
def mapview():
# creating a map in the view
mymap = Map(
identifier="view-side",
lat=37.4419,
lng=-122.1419,
markers=[(37.4419, -122.1419)]
)
return render_template('example.html', mymap=mymap)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
{{"decoupled-map"|googlemap_js(37.4419, -122.1419, markers=[(37.4419, -122.1419)])}}
{{mymap.js}}
</head>
<body>
<h1>Flask Google Maps Example</h1>
<h2> Template function centered, no marker </h2>
{{googlemap("simple-map", 37.4419, -122.1419)}}
<h2> Template filter decoupled with single marker </h2>
{{"decoupled-map"|googlemap_html(37.4419, -122.1419)}}
<h2> Template function with multiple markers </h2>
{% with map=googlemap_obj("another-map", 37.4419, -122.1419, markers=[(37.4419, -122.1419), (37.4300, -122.1400)]) %}
{{map.html}}
{{map.js}}
{% endwith %}
<h2> Generated in view</h2>
{{mymap.html}}
</body>
</html>
Implement other methods from the api, add layers etc...
