okonomi 0.1.1

smart JS loading for Django

okonomi

Incredibly simple static javascript file handling.

from any template, as many times as you want:

{% jsrequire /path/to/my/js.js %}

or:

{% jsrequire http://google.com/some/api %}

okonomi will take care of getting just the right <script> includes into the HEAD of your template using the hideous ${JS} sigil that you must include in a base template somewhere.

django settings

• OKONOMI_STATIC_URL set this to whatever makes sense for your django project.
• OKONOMI_STATIC_PATH set this to whatever makes sense for your django project.
• OKONOMI_HTML_PATH_TEMPLATE defaults to <script type="text/javascript" src="%s"></script>\n
• OKONOMI_HTML_URL_TEMPLATE defaults to <script type="text/javascript" src="%s"></script>\n

Requirements

Locally hosted media

• ${JS} sigil in HEAD or somewhere:

  {% jsrequire /formchecking.js %}
  

• add /formchecking.js to set() in context

… (repeat in various templates) …

• middleware:

  • generate key from what is in the set()

  • not cached?

    • read all the js files, concat, cache

  • insert <script src="/js/cache_key"></script> for ${JS}

Remote hosted media

• ${JS} sigil in HEAD or somewhere:

  {% jsrequire https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.js %}
  

• add url to set() in context

… (repeat in various templates) …

• middleware:

  • insert <script src="url"></script> for each remote include
