Django app that caches CDN files for use when coding offline

Project description

This app is to help in those situations where you can’t get on the network but you want to write some Django code. Surround your static CDN references (like jquery and the like) with this template tag and when you turn it on the URLs will be re-written from a local copy.

Installation

In your settings file, add ‘airplane’ to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS field and make the following additions:

import airplane

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, airplane.CACHE_DIR),
)

AIRPLANE_MODE = airplane.BUILD_CACHE
#AIRPLANE_MODE = airplane.USE_CACHE

Now use the airplane tag in your templates

{% load airplanetags %}

<html>
    <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet"
            href="{% airplane 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap.min.css' %}">
    </head>
</html>

Change the AIRPLANE_MODE setting to airplane.USE_CACHE and subsequent calls to the {% airplane %} tag will return a reference to the locally cached version.

Settings

Airplane only does something if DEBUG=True and if you have an AIRPLANE_MODE value set to either airplane.BUILD_CACHE or airplane.USE_CACHE. If one of these conditions is not met, the tag simply returns the value passed in.

For example, if DEBUG=False and your template contains:

<link rel="stylesheet"
    href="{% airplane 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap.min.css' %}">

Then the above snippet renders as:

<link rel="stylesheet"
    href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap.min.css">

When AIRPLANE_MODE is set to airplane.BUILD_CACHE any URLs passed in are fetched and their contents added to a local cache. The default local cache is .airport_cache relative to the base directory of your project.

You can change the location of the cache by setting AIRPLANE_CACHE. The setting accepts either fully qualified paths or paths relative to the project’s base directory.

Once you have cached all the files you are using, switch AIRPLANE_MODE to airplane.USE_CACHE. All URLs are now re-written to point to the contents of the local cache.

Supports

django-airplane has been tested with Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 and Django 1.11 and 2.0. Older versions of Django should still work but aren’t tested against.
