starlette-cramjam 0.5.0

Cramjam integration for Starlette ASGI framework.

starlette-cramjam

Cramjam integration for Starlette ASGI framework.

---

Source Code: https://github.com/developmentseed/starlette-cramjam

---

The starlette-cramjam middleware aims to provide a unique Compression middleware to support Brotli, GZip, Deflate and ZSTD compression algorithms with a minimal requirement.

The middleware will compress responses for any request that includes "br", "gzip", "deflate" or "zstd" in the Accept-Encoding header.

As for the official Starlette middleware, the one provided by starlette-cramjam will handle both standard and streaming responses.

stralette-cramjam is built on top of pyrus-cramjam an Extremely thin Python bindings to de/compression algorithms in Rust.

Installation

You can install starlette-cramjam from pypi

$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install starlette-cramjam

or install from source:

$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install https://github.com/developmentseed/starlette-cramjam.git

Usage

The following arguments are supported:

• compression (List of Compression) - List of available compression algorithm. This list also defines the order of preference. Defaults to [Compression.gzip, Compression.deflate, Compression.br, Compression.zstd],
• compression_level (Integer) - Compression level to use, form 0 (None) to 11 (High). Defaults to cramjam internal defaults for each compression backend.
• minimum_size (Integer) - Do not compress responses that are smaller than this minimum size in bytes. Defaults to 500.
• exclude_path (Set of string) - Do not compress responses in response to specific path requests. Entries have to be valid regex expressions. Defaults to {}.
• exclude_mediatype (Set of string) - Do not compress responses of specific media type (e.g image/png). Defaults to {}.

Minimal (defaults) example

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.middleware import Middleware
from starlette.responses import PlainTextResponse
from starlette.routing import Route

from starlette_cramjam.middleware import CompressionMiddleware

def index(request):
    return PlainTextResponse("Hello World")


app = Starlette(
    routes=[Route("/", endpoint=index)],
    middleware=[
        Middleware(CompressionMiddleware),
    ],
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

from starlette_cramjam.compression import Compression
from starlette_cramjam.middleware import CompressionMiddleware

def index(request):
    return PlainTextResponse("Hello World")

def img(request):
    return Response(b"This is a fake body", status_code=200, media_type="image/jpeg")

def foo(request):
    return PlainTextResponse("Do not compress me.")


app = Starlette(
    routes=[
        Route("/", endpoint=index),
        Route("/image", endpoint=img),
        Route("/foo", endpoint=foo),
    ],
    middleware=[
        Middleware(
            CompressionMiddleware,
            compression=[Compression.gzip],  # Only support `gzip`
            compression_level=6,  # Compression level to use
            minimum_size=0,  # should compress everything
            exclude_path={"^/foo$"},  # do not compress response for the `/foo` request
            exclude_mediatype={"image/jpeg"},  # do not compress jpeg
        ),
    ],
