django-leaflet allows you to use Leaflet in your Django projects.
pip install django-leaflet
- Add
leaflet
to yourINSTALLED_APPS
- Add the HTML header :
{% load leaflet_tags %}
<head>
...
{% leaflet_js %}
{% leaflet_css %}
</head>
* Add the map in your page, providing a name : :
...
<body>
...
{% leaflet_map "yourmap" %}
...
</body>
- Use the Leaflet API as usual in the map initialization callback (can be facultative depending on settings) :
<script type="text/javascript">
function yourmapInit(yourmap, bounds) {
...
// Add background layer from MapBox
yourmap.addLayer(new L.TileLayer('http://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/mapbox.mapbox-light/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'));
...
}
</script>
- Give your maps a size (
height
is mandatory) :
<style>
.leaflet-container { /* all maps */
width: 600px;
height: 400px;
}
#specialbigmap {
height: 800px;
}
</style>
In order to configure django-leaflet, just add a new section in your settings :
LEAFLET_CONFIG = {
# conf here
}
You can configure a global spatial extent for your maps, that will automatically center your maps, restrict panning and add reset view and scale controls. (See advanced usage to tweak that.)
'SPATIAL_EXTENT' : (5.0, 44.0, 7.5, 46)
To globally add a tiles layer to your maps :
'TILES_URL' : 'http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'
This setting can also be a list of tuples (name, url) ! A layer switcher will then be added automatically.
By default, it runs the last stable version (0.4.4) of Leaflet. But it is possible to run the legacy
version (0.3.1) or the unstable
under development (master).
'LEAFLET_VERSION' : 'legacy'
Automatically add a scale control with km and miles :
'SCALE' : False
callback
A Javascript function name for initialization callback. (Default:
name + Init
)
{% leaflet_map "yourmap" callback="window.customMap" %}
fixextent
Control if map initial view shoud be set to extent setting. (Default:
True
). Setting fixextent toFalse
will prevent view reset and scale controls to be added.
It is possible to setup the map spatial reference in LEAFLET_CONFIG
:
'SRID' : 2154 # See http://spatialreference.org
Additional parameters are then required to compute scale levels :
'MAX_RESOLUTION' : 1142.7383, 'TILES_EXTENT' : [700000,6325197,1060000,6617738],
For more information, have a look at this example.
By default, Django will try to load the spatial reference from your static files at "proj4js/{{ srid }}.js". If it fails, it will eventually rely on spatialreference.org.
