Research direction

Read the linked foliplus documentation, especially the quickstart display-map page, to understand the proposed extension suite and its UI and layer-management goals. The issue does not identify Folium files, tests, an entry point, or a concrete acceptance condition, so the work is not ready to start from this issue alone.

Description

Hi Folium Community!

We are excited to share foliplus – an open‑source extension that complements Folium with advanced UI/UX and layer management, while keeping 100% offline HTML compatibility.

🌟 Why foliplus?

We love Folium’s simplicity and standalone HTML outputs. However, in real‑world projects like supply chain analytics, we repeatedly hit native limitations:

  • Fragmented UI – Native plugins use mismatched legacy leaflet-bar themes, creating inconsistent controls that hurt map professionalism.
  • Limited layer management – Native LayerControl only toggles visibility: no z‑order reordering, no layer icons, no APIs for cross‑component interaction, and no dynamic layer add/remove after map rendering.
