Insert The Folium Maps Into The Jinja Template

I want to insert follium map into the jinja template. run.py from flask import Flask, render_template app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/') def index(): start_coords = (46.

Solution 1:

You could save your generated html with folium_map.save('templates/map.html'). Then you can use jinja2 to {% include "map.html" %}. The generated html does not render a map when wrapped in div tags as indicated, if encapsulation is necessary consider using iframes or custom folium templates.

file structure

myapp
├── run.py
└── templates
    ├── index.html
    └── layout.html

run.py

from flask import Flask, render_template
import folium

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')defindex():
    start_coords = (46.9540700, 142.7360300)
    folium_map = folium.Map(location=start_coords, zoom_start=14)
    folium_map.save('templates/map.html')
    return render_template('index.html')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

layout.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML><head><title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title></head><body><header>{% block head %}{% endblock %}</header>
  {% block body %}{% endblock %}
</body></html>

index.html

{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block title %} Test {% endblock %}
{% block head %} {{ super() }} {% endblock %}
{% block body %}
    {% include "map.html" %}
{% endblock %}

Solution 2:

Maybe it can be the solution. First we save a Folium map as an html file on templates folder. Then we create a Flask route to render another html file. On that html file, we create an iframe element that call our map.

Here is the file structure:

proectApp
├── app.py
└── templates
    ├── index.html
    └── map.html

Folium map file (map.html) will be created automatically from my app.py. On app.py I'll create 2 main route: the first one is the home route which will render index.html & create map.html. Then the other is to render folium map (map.html). Here are the codes:

app.py

from flask import Flask, render_template
import folium

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')defindex():
    start_coords = (-6.1753924, 106.8271528)
    folium_map = folium.Map(
        location=start_coords, 
        zoom_start=17
    )
    folium_map.save('templates/map.html')
    return render_template('index.html')

@app.route('/map')defmap():
    return render_template('7_map.html')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html><htmllang="en"><head><metacharset="UTF-8"><metaname="viewport"content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"><metahttp-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"content="ie=edge"><title>Folium Map</title></head><body><h1>Render Folium on Flask 🌏</h1><iframeclass="map", src="/map"width="600"height="600"></iframe><h3><bstyle="background-color: lightcoral; color: lightcyan;">
        Render Folium on Flask done!
    </b></h3></body></html>

The result will be shown on browser like this:

folium on flask

Hope it helps you.

Solution 3:

A different solution using iframe and render_template

<iframeclass="map", src="/get_map"width="1100"height="600"></iframe>

Plus python flask code

# a hack going on here as web servers are caching folium generated template# randomly move to a new name and then use render_template@app.route('/get_map')defget_map():
    r = int(random.triangular(0,100))
    t = "templates/map_{i}.html"for i inrange(0,100):
        f = t.format(i=i)
        if os.path.exists(f):
            os.remove(f)
    f = t.format(i=r)
    shutil.copy("templates/map.html", f)

    r = make_response(render_template(os.path.split(f)[1]))
    r.cache_control.max_age = 0
    r.cache_control.no_cache = True
    r.cache_control.no_store = True
    r.cache_control.must_revalidate = True
    r.cache_control.proxy_revalidate = Truereturn r

Without the copy to a random filename before rendering httpd (on AWS beanstalk) / flask debug environment was not picking up new instance of folium html template. cache_control is not needed but was part of what I trialed to come to a solution. Clearly this solution is not thread safe
