ng2django 0.1.3

Convert your Angular built index.html file to Django Template syntax

ng2django

This is a simple Python tool that will convert an HTML file built by Angular2+ to Django Template Language. This way static files can be made available to an Agnular app that is served up with a Django project.

The script basically does two things:

• Adds a {% load static %} tag to the top of the file
• Changes the value of href and src attributes of link and script tags to {% static "<path-to-the-file>" %}

Dependencies

The script uses Beutifulsoup4. You can install it by running pip install -r requirements.txt.

Usage

Build your Angular app and place the files in <Django-project-root>/<app>/static/<optional-subdirectory>/.

The script takes two positional arguments:

• source: The path to the HTML file you want to convert.
• dest: Where you want the Django Template file saved.

Then you can run

$ python ng2django.py <Django-project-root>/<app>/static/index.html <Django-project-root>/<app>/templates/index.html

if you are storing your files directly in your Django app's static and templates directories (not recommended), or

$ python ng2django.py <Django-project-root>/<app>/static/<optional-subdirectory>/index.html <Django-project-root>/<app>/templates/<optional-subdirectory>/index.html -s <optional-subdirectory>

if you are using some subdirectory of those paths.

Optional Arguments

Short	Long	Description
-s <subdir>	--subdir <subdir>	Include the subpath under <Django-app>/static/ where your static files are stored.
-n	--nodelete	Do not delete the source file after converting.
-p	--pretty	Create a dest file that is more human readable.

Recommended Setup and Usage

Copy the ng2django.py file into your Angular project root.

Open you package.json file. Under scripts, change build to

ng build --prod --output-path <Your-django-project-root>/<Django-App>/static/ng.

Add a postbuild key under script and set the value to

python ng2django.py <Your-django-project-root>/<Django-App>/static/ng/index.html <Your-django-project-root>/<Django-App>/templates/ng/index.html -s ng.

Run npm run build and your Angular JS and CSS files will be saved to your Django app's static directory. Then, this script will run and convert your HTML file and save it in your Django app's templates directory.
