Description

I am trying to record the lat/long data from user click. JS can do it with something like:
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {placeMarker(map, event.latLng, marker);});

How can i pass the this "event.latLng" to the flask? Can we add this api to flask_googlemaps?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing Flask-GoogleMaps API and the generated client-side map JavaScript, then trace how browser events could reach Flask. Done means there is a defined, supported way to pass click latitude and longitude to the Flask application.
