I'm working on a project where I'm using the Folium library to create interactive maps. I want to allow users to input coordinates (latitude and longitude) through a form, and upon submission, I'd like to dynamically add a marker to the map at the specified location.
Here's what I have so far:
<section>
<h2>Mapa de ocorrência:</h2>
<form id="coordinateForm">
Latitude: <input type="text" id="latitude" name="latitude"><br>
Longitude: <input type="text" id="longitude" name="longitude"><br>
</form>
<div id="map">{{ map | safe}}</div>
</section>
The map came from this code
def fazer_mapa(self):
family = self.kwargs['family']
zoom_level = 4
colecoes = Colecao.objects.filter(family=family)
latitude_values = list(Colecao.objects.filter(family=family).aggregate(Max('decimalLatitude'),Min('decimalLatitude')).values())
longitude_values = list(Colecao.objects.filter(family=family).aggregate(Max('decimalLongitude'),Min('decimalLongitude')).values())
if latitude_values == [None,None] and longitude_values == [None,None]:
latitude_values = [-19.8688655,-19.8688655]
longitude_values = [-43.9695513,-43.9695513]
zoom_level = 16
# média de onde será o meio do mapa
latitude_media = (sum(latitude_values))/2
longitude_media = (sum(longitude_values))/2
mapa_family = Map(location=[latitude_media,longitude_media],zoom_start=zoom_level,tiles='Stamen Terrain')
return mapa_family._repr_html_()
Could someone guide me on how to use JavaScript to capture the user's input for latitude and longitude and then add a marker to the map using Folium? I appreciate any help or examples you can provide!
