flask-squeeze 1.6

Compress and minify Flask responses!

Flask-Squeeze

Flask-Squeeze is a Flask extension that automatically:

• Minifies your JS and CSS files.
• Compresses all HTTP responses with brotli.
• Caches static files so that they don't have to be recompressed. The cache will be cleared each time Flask restarts!

Installation

pip3 install Flask-Squeeze

Usage

from flask_squeeze import Squeeze
squeeze = Squeeze()

# Initialize Extension
squeeze.init_app(app)

Thats all!

Options

You can configure Flask Squeeze with the following options:

• COMPRESS_FLAG (default=True): Globally enables or disables Flask-Squeeze
• COMPRESS_MIN_SIZE (default=500): Defines the minimum file size in bytes to activate the brotli compression
• COMPRESS_LEVEL_STATIC (default=11): Possible value are 0 (lowest) to 11 (highest). Defines the compression level of brotli for files in static folders. Theses files fill also be cached, so that they only have to be compressed once.
• COMPRESS_LEVEL_DYNAMIC (default=5): Possible value are 0 (lowest) to 11 (highest). Defines the compression level of brotli for dynamic files like generated HTML files. Theses files will not be cached, so they will be compressed for each response.
