django-debug-toolbar in WebKit DevTools. Works fine with background Ajax requests and non-HTML responses

Project description

Django Debug Toolbar inside WebKit DevTools. Works fine with background AJAX requests and non-HTML responses. Great for single-page applications and other AJAX intensive web applications.

Installation

Install and configure Django Debug Toolbar
Install Django Debug Panel:
```
pip install django-debug-panel
```

Add debug_panel to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'debug_panel',
)

Replace the Django Debug Toolbar middleware with the Django Debug Panel one. Replace:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
    ...
)

with:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'debug_panel.middleware.DebugPanelMiddleware',
    ...
)

(Optional) Configure your cache. All the debug data of a request are stored into the cache backend debug-panel if available. Otherwise, the default backend is used, and finally if no caches are defined it will fallback to a local memory cache. You might want to configure the debug-panel cache in your settings.py:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
        'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211',
    },

    # this cache backend will be used by django-debug-panel
    'debug-panel': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache',
        'LOCATION': '/var/tmp/debug-panel-cache',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'MAX_ENTRIES': 200
        }
    }
}
