Update Folium Polygon color without having to re-save the map and re-load the page?

[EdwardDeaver]

I'm new to folium, I'm trying to see if my JS Leaflet code would work in folium.

In my JS I have a polygon that when a message comes in updates it's color:
Ex. Polygon (JS)

polygon = L.polygon(latlngs, {color: 'red'}).addTo(mymap);

Then when a message comes through I just:

polygon.setStyle({color: 'purple'});

And it just updates in real time.

Is this possible to do with folium, it seems like folium is meant for static maps not dynamic ones?

You're right, folium is not mean for dynamic maps. You create all the objects and add them to a Map object, and when you render that a single html page is created. It's not meant as a dynamic web app kind of thing. You could use folium in something dynamic, but you have to inject some javascript that does that.

Does that help? I don't know what you're use case is exactly of course.

Hi Conengmo,

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

It helped tremendously.

Thank you again.
