Django Versioned static files manager

django-versioned-static Description

django-versioned-static is a Django app that helps to manage your staticfiles when you need to minify them for production use. Moreover, it is capable of versioning the assets so that whenever you need to alter the static files, users won't be given old file from the browser cache.InstallationStandard Django way:pip install django-versioned-staticAdd to your INSTALLED_APPS:INSTALLED_APPS = ( .. .., 'versioned_static', ...)Configure the assets themselves:STATICS_ASSETS = { 'css': { 'css/mycoolproject.css': { 'media': ('screen', 'projection', 'tv'), 'files': ('css/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.css', 'css/style.css',), 'version': 1 }, 'css/print.css': { 'media': ('print',), 'files': ('css/print.css',), 'version': 1 } }, 'js': { 'js/mycoolproject.js': { 'files': ('js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js', 'js/main.js'), 'version': 1 } }}Done!Usage in templatesVery simple. Use the asset template tag. Give it the static type (css or js) and the base css alias. It will generate all the necessary HTML for you directly:{% load versioned_statics_tags %}{% asset "css" "css/mycoolproject.css" %}{% asset "css" "css/print.css" %}{% asset "js" "js/mycoolproject.js" %}It takes your settings in the account. In development (when DEBUG = True), you will be given unversioned and unminified static files. When you turn the debug off, you will be given versioned asset links.Result with DEBUG=True:< link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.css" media="screen,projection,tv"/ >< link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/style.css" media="screen,projection,tv"/ >< link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/print.css" media="print"/ >< script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" >< /script >< script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/main.js" >< /script >Result with DEBUG=False:< link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/print.1.css" media="print"/ >< script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/mycoolproject.1.js" >< /script >Minifying the filesThis app features simple management command which helps you create the minified files for production. Usage goes like this:django-admin.py minifystatics (CSS/JS) ASSET_FILEReal example for previous scenario:django-admin.py minifystatics css css/print.cssThe command will look in your STATIC_ROOT by default (so be sure you ran collectstatic before the minify command) and use it as the root path.Notesdjango-versioned-static internally uses YUI library for minifying the CSS/JS assets.Product's homepage
