wagtail-maps

Create and display maps with points in Wagtail.

Warning! This project is still early on in its development lifecycle. It is possible for breaking changes to occur between versions until reaching a stable 1.0. Feedback and pull requests are welcome.

This package extend Wagtail to add a new Map model, which is composed by one or more points. Each point may have a title, some content and link to an internal or external URL. Once you have configured your map from the Wagtail admin, you will be able to display it in a page - e.g. as a StreamField block.

Requirements

This package requires the following:

• Wagtail (7.4 LTS)
• Django (5.2 LTS)
• Python 3 (3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14)

Installation

1. Install using pip:

   pip install wagtail-maps
   

2. Add wagtail_maps to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # ...
       'wagtail_maps',
       # ...
   ]
   

3. Include the URL of wagtail-maps to your urls.py file:

   from wagtail_maps import urls as wagtailmaps_urls
   
   urlpatterns = [
       # ...
       path('maps/', include(wagtailmaps_urls)),
       # ...
   ]
   

4. Run python manage.py migrate to create the models

Usage

A StreamField block wagtail_maps.blocks.MapBlock can be used to display a given Map object with its points in your page. To render this block in your frontend, you will have to include the following assets in the templates which can contain it - or in your base template:

• the JavaScript code that renders the map with Leaflet thanks to a Stimulus controller:

  <script src="{% static "wagtail_maps/js/map-block.js" %}"></script>
  

• the default Leaflet stylesheet if you don't provide your own:

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "wagtail_maps/vendor/leaflet.css" %}">
  

Development

Quick start

To set up a development environment, ensure that Python 3 is installed on your system. Then:

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install this package and its requirements:

   (venv)$ pip install --editable ".[factories]" --group dev
   

To run the test app interactively, use tox -e interactive, visit http://127.0.0.1:8020/admin and log in with admin / changeme.

Contributing

The tests are written with pytest and code coverage is measured with coverage. You can use the following commands while developing:

• make test: run the tests and output a quick report of code coverage
• make test-wip: only run the tests marked as 'wip'
• make test-all: run the tests on all supported versions of Django and Wagtail with tox

The Python code is formatted and linted thanks to ruff. You can check the code with make lint and try to fix the reported issues with make format.

When submitting a pull-request, please ensure that the code is well formatted and covered, and that all the tests pass.
