django-osm-widgets 0.2.2

Improved widgets for Django's PointField

django-osm-widgets

Improved widgets for Django's PointField.

LatLonOpenlayersOSMWidget handles latitude and longitude inputs synced with the point on the map.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Django >=3.0, <5.2

Installation

• run pip install django-osm-widgets
• add django_osm_widgets to your INSTALLED_APPS

Usage

In your forms, use the widget like this:

from django.contrib.gis.forms.fields import PointField
from django_osm_widgets.widgets import LatLonOpenlayersOSMWidget


class MyForm(forms.Form):
  location = PointField(widget=LatLonOpenlayersOSMWidget)

The latitute and longitude fields will be automatically added in your page.

Currently django-osm-widgets supports only a unique instance of the LatLonOpenlayersOSMWidget in a page.

Customizations

You can define some options as in the example below.

When using "must_display_latlon_fields": False, your are responsible for providing two input fields in your page. These fields must have ids corresponding to latitude_field_id and longitude_field_id values (defaults to id_osm_widget_latitude and id_osm_widget_longitude) and must appear in the DOM before the LatLonOpenlayersOSMWidget.```

When using "must_display_geocoder_button": False, you are responsible for providing a button with an id corresponding to geocoder_button_id value (defaults to id_geocoder_button).

You can override some attributes when instantiating the widget class in your form. Below are all the attributes and their default values.

from django.contrib.gis.forms.fields import PointField
from django_osm_widgets.widgets import LatLonOpenlayersOSMWidget


class MyForm(forms.Form):
  location = PointField(
    widget=LatLonOpenlayersOSMWidget(
      attrs={
        "must_display_latlon_fields": True,
        "must_display_geocoder_button": True,
        "map_width": "auto",
        "map_height": "auto",
        "default_lat": 45,
        "default_lon": 5,
        "default_zoom": 8,
        "latitude_field_id": "id_osm_widget_latitude",
        "longitude_field_id": "id_osm_widget_longitude",
        "listened_events": "input",
        "marker_options": {
          "src": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/leaflet@1.9.4/dist/images/marker-icon.png",
          "scale": 1,
          "anchor": [0.5, 1],
        },
        "precision": 4,
        "geocoder_address_field_ids": ["id_adresse", "id_code_postal", "id_localite", "id_pays"],
        "geocoder_provider": "nominatim",
        "geocoder_button_id": "id_geocoder_button",
        "geocoder_message_container_id": "id_geocoder_message",
        "clear_features_label": "Delete all Features",
        "geocoder_button_label": "Geolocate from address",
        "geocoder_message_timeout": 5000,
      }
    )
  )

Projects can override button labels and the status message timeout:

• Via widget attrs: Pass clear_features_label, geocoder_button_label, geocoder_message_timeout when instantiating the widget.
• Via template blocks: Extend latlon-openlayers-osm.html and override {% block clear_features_label %} or {% block geocoder_button_label %} for full control.

Labels support translation when using Django's i18n. The status message (e.g. "Coordinates updated.") disappears automatically after geocoder_message_timeout milliseconds (default 5 seconds).

Geocoding from address

When geocoder_address_field_ids is provided, a "Geocode from address" button appears next to the map. When clicked, the widget fetches coordinates of the address formed by concatenating values of the geocoder_address_fields_ids (keeping the order) and updates the map.

The geocoding provider is configurable via geocoder_provider:

• nominatim (default): OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Works worldwide with international addresses.
• ign: IGN Géoplateforme. Optimized for French addresses (BAN, BD TOPO®, Parcellaire Express). 50 requests/second limit per IP.

Example for French addresses:

"geocoder_provider": "ign",

You can omit any of the four address keys; at least one address field must be filled.
