Khufu/Pyramid component for managing javascript resources

Project description

Introduction
============

*khufu_javascript* provides various ways for including Javascript into
your Khufu/Pyramid app.

Dojo Support
============

``khufu_javascript.dojo`` provides support for working with Dojo.

Usage
-----

Setting up khufu_javascript.dojo is easy.
::

# config must be an instance of pyramid.config.Configurator
config.include('khufu_javascript.dojo')
config.register_script_dir('myproject:javascripts')

The previous example will iterate over all *.js files in the ``javascripts``
directory relative to the ``myproject`` package (``register_script_dir`` takes
an asset spec). For each .js file found it scans for a "dojo.provides('foo')"
entry and registers that module with khufu_javascript.

After having registered scripts, they can be accessed via the ``dojo`` view
at the root of the site. If one of the javascripts found has
"dojo.provides('foo.bar')" then the dojo view will provide::

http://127.0.0.1:8080/dojo/foo/bar.js

Anyone working with Dojo modules knows that there still needs to a way
to tell Dojo to look at */dojo/whatever* when looking up non-core modules.
Dojo handles this with *djConfig* which can be used to setup module load
paths.

After having registered scripts, inside of your views you can simply call
``khufu_javascript.dojo.render_header``.
::

# views.py
from khufu_javascript.dojo import render_header

@view_config('myview', renderer='templates/foo.jinja2',
context=Root)
def myview(request):
dojo_header = render_header(request)
return {'dojo_header': dojo_header}

<!-- templates/foo.jinja2 -->
<html>
<head>
{{ dojo_header|safe }}
</head>
<body>
yes sir!
</body>
</html>

The ``render_header`` method will generate the appropriate *<link>*, *<style>*,
and *<script>* elements for loading Dojo. It will also generate
the appropriate *djConfig* object that configures the module loading path
to work with our /dojo view.
