django_compressor_mako 1.2.0

Usage

All you need to do is to import extension namespace and using it with mako syntax:

<%namespace name="compress" module="django_compressor_mako"/>

<%compress:compress kind="css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/style.css" type="text/css" />
</%compress:compress>

Almost all django-compressor arguments are supported but must be explicitly named:

• kind: mandatory, “css” or “js”.

• mode: optional, compressor mode, “file” or “inline”.

• name: is not supported and will raise a NotImplementedError

Outputs cannot be named and are just named using hash plus extension.

Also note that mako template doesn’t allow blocks inside of <%call>, that means you cannot use the following syntax:

<%namespace name="compress" module="django_compressor_mako"/>

<%compress:compress kind="css">
<%block name="more_css"/>
</%compress:compress>

Offline compression

In order to use offline compression you must first create cached compressed files and manifest using python ./manage.py compress_mako.

Shorter functions

Additionally two shorter functions are provided, css and js, same arguments can be passed except kind which is set by default depending on which one is used, eg.:

<%namespace name="compress" module="django_compressor_mako"/>

<%compress:css>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/style.css" type="text/css" />
</%compress:css>

<%compress:js>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/script.js">
</%compress:js>
