Static redirects for Django

Project description

Django Static Redirects

CI PyPI PyPI - Python Version PyPI - License

Define redirects in your repository as either CSV of JSON files, and have Django performantly serve them.

Redirect matching is designed to be as fast as possible, and does not use the database.

Installation

pip install django-static-redirects

Then, add static_redirects to INSTALLED_APPS.

The redirect is done as a middleware. Add static_redirects.StaticRedirectsMiddleware wherever makes sense for you in MIDDLEWARE - ideally below any middleware which modify the response (eg GzipMiddleware) but above anything especially intensive, so the redirects are applied before them.

Usage

To add files containing redirects, set them in STATIC_REDIRECTS:

STATIC_REDIRECTS = [
    BASE_DIR / "static-redirect.csv",
    BASE_DIR / "static-redirect.json",
]

Redirect files are read in-order, with latter redirects taking precedence.

Redirects can either be just paths, in which case they match all hostnames, or include a hostname. Schemes are not included as part of the match. If a request contains a querystring, it is ignored, unless a match containing the querystring is found.

CSV files

CSV files must contain 2 or 3 columns, without a header. The first column is the source path, second is the destination URL, and the (optional) third notes whether the redirect is permanent.

/source,/destination,true
/source2,/destination2
https://example.com/source3,/destination3

JSON files

JSON files must contain a list of objects:

[
    {
        "source": "/source",
        "destination": "/destination",
        "is_permanent": true
    },
    {
        "source": "/source2",
        "destination": "/destination2",
    },
    {
        "source": "/source3",
        "destination": "/destination3",
        "hostname": "example.com"
    },
    {
        "source": "https://example.com/source4",
        "destination": "/destination4",
    }
]

Much like CSV, is_permanent is optional, defaulting to false.
