Flask-Staticify 0.1.1

Looks for static files in the ad hoc folder as a fallback

This is a simple extension that helps you to serve static files if they doesn’t exist from the ad hoc folder.

Created to work nicely with Grunt or any other build tools that handle your fancy static files.

Usage

Let’s have an example of compiling CoffeeScript to JavaScript (with grunt-contrib-coffee and grunt-usemin), using .tmp for output dir and the following block:

Please note this file doesn't exist.

<!-- build:js static/optimized.js -->
<script src="/static/app.js">
<!-- endbuild -->

After running compile command: static/app.coffee -> .tmp/app.js. To use compiled file while development mount the.tmp folder to the Flask application :

>>> from flask.ext.staticify import mount_folder
>>> if flask_app.debug:
...     # Mount will monkey the "static" endpoint function
...     # to look also into the .tmp folder as a fallback.
...     mount_folder(flask_app, '.tmp')

>>> flask_app.test_client().get('/static/app.js')
... <Response [200 OK]>

And that’s it!

Install

$ pip install Flask-Staticify
