Map doesn't re-render when lat/long input is updated via javascript about django-location-field HOT 6 OPEN

@MikeSandford did you try trigger change event?

@caioariede thanks for taking a look at this! I just tried change, keyup, focusout and blur.

$("#id_location").val(loc_string).change().focusout().blur().keyup();

I also tried manually inputting 0,0 and when I clicked away from the input the map and marker didn't update that way either. It seems as though there's a binding from the "watched" form inputs to the map, but not from the actual lat/lon input to the map.

@caioariede I was able to put together some code that does the latlong input field to map marker binding and it works on my local machine. But then I went down the rabbit hole a little bit looking at leaflet docs and it seems like there's stuff in leaflet to do exactly that! map.locate is available and you can even pass in a watch=true parameter.

I can make a PR with what I already have but I'm not entirely sure what's the best route forward here. Are you interested in adding this capability? If so do you have a preference on how it's achieved? The one difficulty I have on attempting to expose the leaflet functionality is that I'm not sure how to get a reference to the map from the context of a webpage that has a button on it that a user presses to center the map on themselves. I can find the jQuery node that's the div of the map widget or the inner div of the actual rendered map but I haven't figured out how to get something that I can then call any of the $.locationField methods on.

Solution would be to trigger a change on the city field or one of the other fields, "its" listening to.

Example if you have jQuery

after you have changed the value of location input field - then trigger a change on the city field

loc_string = ?something?
$("#id_location").val(loc_string);
$("#id_city").trigger('change');

or maybe you should trigger keyup on the city field - you'll have to look in the code to see or just play around with it.

I think that will do the trick for you :)
