Project description

Django Compressor with Parceljs

Django-compressor_ with parceljs_ is base on Django-Compressor, which bundles and minifies your typescript, vue, react, scss etc in a Django template into cacheable static files using parceljs and django-compressor.

For more information visit Django-Compressor_

Quickstart

Install django-compress::

pip install git+https://github.com/eadwinCode/django-compressor.git@develop

Install parcel-bundler::

npm install -g parcel-bundler

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

.. code-block:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'compressor',
    ...
)

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
    # other finders..
    'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder',
)

Other Configurations

To minify your code for production, you need to set COMPRESS_ENABLED and COMPRESS_OFFLINE to true in settings.py.

In django-compressor, the value of COMPRESS_ENABLED = !DEBUG is not set in the settings.

.. code-block:: python

COMPRESS_ENABLED = True
COMPRESS_OFFLINE = True

Usage

In your template, load compress {% load compress %} then use {% compress parcel %} <script> {% endcompress %} to load a script. for example:

.. code-block:: html

{% load static %} 
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Vue Django Testing</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    ....
   {% compress parcel file myts %}
    <script src="{% static 'js/index.ts' %}"></script>
   {% endcompress %}
  </body>
  ...

Vue example

Create a vue project in your django project root ::

npm init --yes
npm install -D vue-template-compiler, @vue/component-compiler-utils
npm install vue

In your django project app create ::

static/components/test.vue
static/js/index.js

In static/components/test.vue,

.. code-block:: vue

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>{{ message }}</h1>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
    export default {
      name: "app",
      components: {},
      data: {
        message: "Hello Vue",
      },
      computed: {}
    };
    </script>

<style lang="scss">
</style>

In static/js/index.js,

.. code-block:: javascript

import Vue from "vue";
import test  from "../components/test.vue";
new Vue(test).$mount("#components-demo");

In your django template,

.. code-block:: html

{% load static %} 
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Vue Django Testing</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    ....
   <div id="components-demo"></div>
   {% compress parcel file myjs %}
     <script src="{% static 'js/index.js' %}"></script>
   {% endcompress %}
  </body>
  ...

Run runserver ::

python manage.py runserver

You have successfully bundled your vue app into your django template.

Using Parceljs to bundle SASS, SCSS, LESS

Integrating compilers into django-compressor is quiet very easy. All you need is to provide a COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS option in django settings.py. For more information visit django-compressor precompilers_

.. code-block:: python

COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
    ('text/coffeescript', 'coffee --compile --stdio'),
    ('text/less', 'lessc {infile} {outfile}'),
    ('text/x-sass', 'sass {infile} {outfile}'),
    ('text/x-scss', 'sass --scss {infile} {outfile}'),
    ('text/stylus', 'stylus < {infile} > {outfile}'),
    ('text/foobar', 'path.to.MyPrecompilerFilter'),
)

Use compressor.filters.parceljs.ParserFilterCSS on scss, sass or less in COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS options as filter. For example:

.. code-block:: python

COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
    # ('text/coffeescript', 'coffee --compile --stdio'),
    ('text/less', 'compressor.filters.parceljs.ParserFilterCSS'),
    # ('text/x-sass', 'sass {infile} {outfile}'),
    ('text/x-scss', 'compressor.filters.parceljs.ParserFilterCSS'),
    # ('text/stylus', 'stylus < {infile} > {outfile}'),
    # ('text/foobar', 'path.to.MyPrecompilerFilter'),
)

In your template,

.. code-block:: html

{% load static %} 
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Vue Django Testing</title>
    {% compress css file style %}
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/x-scss"  href="{% static 'css/style.scss'%}">
    {% endcompress %}
  </head>
  <body>
  .......

Add the type="text/x-scss" for django-compressor to use the precompiler options to compile the asset.

There is alittle drawback with parceljs css url resolver. There is no configuration for parceljs to ignore resolving css url since django will always resolve static urls automatically. Read more this issue_

A solution is to use ///.. in the url path followed by /static/(filepath)

.. code-block:: scss

body{
    background-color: lightblue;
    background-image: url(///../static/img/ssd/avatar1.png);

    button{
        font-size: .8rem;
    }
}

Using typescript directly in django template

Add lang attribute to the script tag <script lang="ts"></script> ::

npm init --yes
npm install -D @babel/core, @babel/preset-env, typescript

.. code-block:: ts

{% load static %} 
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Vue Django Testing</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    ....
   {% compress parcel file myts %}
     <script lang="ts">
        interface IUser {
            name: string,
            age: number
        }

        class User implements IUser{
            constructor(user:IUser){
                this.name = user.name
                this.age = user.age
            }
            name: string    
            age: number

            get_name = () => {
                return this.name
            };
        }

        const Peter = new User({name:'Peter', age:32})
        console.log(Peter)
     </script>
   {% endcompress %}
  </body>
