Django Compressor
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Compresses linked and inline JavaScript or CSS into a single cached file.
|
|
|
|
Why another static file combiner for Django?
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Short version: None of them did exactly what I needed.
|
|
|
|
Long version:
|
|
|
|
**JS/CSS belong in the templates**
|
|
Every static combiner for Django I've seen makes you configure
|
|
your static files in your ``settings.py``. While that works, it doesn't make
|
|
sense. Static files are for display. And it's not even an option if your
|
|
settings are in completely different repositories and use different deploy
|
|
processes from the templates that depend on them.
|
|
|
|
**Flexibility**
|
|
Django Compressor doesn't care if different pages use different combinations
|
|
of statics. It doesn't care if you use inline scripts or styles. It doesn't
|
|
get in the way.
|
|
|
|
**Automatic regeneration and cache-foreverable generated output**
|
|
Statics are never stale and browsers can be told to cache the output forever.
|
|
|
|
**Full test suite**
|
|
I has one.
