df['longitude'].mean()],tiles="cartodbpositron",zoom_start=12)
map.save("map.html")
context = {'my_map': map}
return render(request, 'my_map.html', context)
my_map.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
{{ my_map }}
</body>
browser result:
folium.folium.Map object at 0x7f49d85662b0
im not sure how to approach getting the html/js to work on the browser after the user has submitted their input via the previous html form... I have seemed to look everywhere and there are a lot of similar problems with solutions but I could not get any to work!
Thanks!
This response is here to increase the google coverage for others who, like me, also experienced this problem when trying to render a Folium map within a Django template.
Please see the comments inside each code block for how to render the map as expected.
map = folium.Map(location=[df['latitude'].mean(),
df['longitude'].mean()],tiles="cartodbpositron",zoom_start=12)
map.save("map.html")
# {'my_map': map} will output the object, which is what you are seeing
# to rectify this we need to turn it into an iframe which
# the template can then render.
context = {'my_map': map} # change to {'my_map': map._repr_html_()}
return render(request, 'my_map.html', context)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
# after making the change in our views.py this will return the html but
# the template will not render it as expected because it is being escaped.
# You must declare it 'safe' before it will be rendered correctly.
{{ my_map }} # change to {{ my_map | safe }}
</body>
For more information see the Folium doc page here or this SO post.
Hope that helps.
