django-location-app

A Django app that helps you easily create and manage your own location data. Simply get a google maps api key and configure your maps directly from your django project's settings. Map comes with autocomplete functionality and saves your location to a completely normalized location database. See below for ORM diagram

Quickstart

Install django-location-app available on pypy and add it to your INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py file

pip install django-location-app

INSTALLED_APPS = (...
                  'location_app',
                  ...
                 )

Get your Google MAPS API key from here and add it to the settings. It is always a good idea to store the key as an environment variable and access via os.environ.get(<name>). Learn more

urlpatterns += [path('location/', include("location_app.urls")),]

If in dev, visit http://localhost:[Port]/location/ and you should see the following UI
