Use Leaflet in your django projects

Project description

*django-leaflet* allows you to use `Leaflet <http://leaflet.cloudmade.com>`_
in your `Django <https://www.djangoproject.com>`_ projects.


=======
INSTALL
=======

::

pip install django-leaflet

=====
USAGE
=====

* Add ``leaflet`` to your ``INSTALLED_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>

* Your maps shows up!


Use Leaflet API
---------------

You can use the *Leaflet* API as usual in the map initialization callback::

<script type="text/javascript">
function yourmapInit(map, bounds) {
...
L.marker([50.5, 30.5]).addTo(map);
...
}
</script>


Customize map size
------------------

::

<style>

.leaflet-container { /* all maps */
width: 600px;
height: 400px;
}

#specialbigmap {
height: 800px;
}

</style>



Configuration
=============

In order to configure *django-leaflet*, just add a new section in your
settings::

LEAFLET_CONFIG = {
# conf here
}


Spatial extent
--------------

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)

Default tiles layer
-------------------

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.

Leaflet version
---------------

By default, it runs the last stable version (*0.4.5*) of Leaflet. But it is
possible to run the ``legacy`` version (*0.3.1*) or the ``unstable`` under
development (*master*)::

'LEAFLET_VERSION': 'legacy'

Scale control
-------------

Disable scale control with km and miles::

'SCALE': False


Advanced usage
==============

``{% leaflet_map %}`` tag parameters
------------------------------------

* ``callback``: javascript function name for initialization callback.
(Default: ``name + Init``). Example::

{% leaflet_map "yourmap" callback="window.customMap" %}

* ``fixextent``: control if map initial view shoud be set to extent setting.
(Default: ``True``). Setting fixextent to ``False`` will prevent view reset
and scale controls to be added.

* ``creatediv``: control if the leaflet map tags creates a new div or not.
(Default: ``True``).
Useful to put the javascript code in the header or footer instead of the
body of the html document. If used, do not forget to create the div manually.


Projection
----------

It is possible to setup the map spatial reference in ``LEAFLET_CONFIG``::

'SRID': 2154 # See http://spatialreference.org

Additional parameter is required to compute scale levels : the tiles extent in
local projection::

'TILES_EXTENT': [700000, 6325197, 1060000, 6617738],

For more information, `have a look at this example <http://blog.mathieu-leplatre.info/leaflet-tiles-in-lambert-93-projection-2154.html>`_.

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>`_.
