Usage:
First, make sure you've installed asset_bender: https://github.com/HubSpot/asset_bender/tree/master
Secondly, make sure that PROJ_NAME, PROJ_DIR, BENDER_S3_DOMAIN, and BENDER_CDN_DOMAIN are set in your
settings. PROJ_NAME should match the name in static_conf.json and PROJ_DIR needs to point to the python
module path (via something like PROJ_DIR = dirname(realpath(__file__))).
BENDER_S3_DOMAIN is the domain that points to your S3 bucket and BENDER_CDN_DOMAIN is the CDN domain in
front of S3 (if you have one).
Thirdly, make sure that you've included these lines in your Manifest.in:
global-include static_conf.json
global-include prebuilt_recursive_static_conf.json
Next, in your app's context processor do:
from django.template import RequestContext
from asset_bender.bundling import BenderAssets
def my_context_processor(request):
context = RequestContext(request)
bender_assets = BenderAssets([
'my_project/static/js/my_project_bundle.js',
'my_project/static/css/my_project_bundle.css',
'some_library/static/js/some_library_bundle.js',
'some_library/static/css/some_library_bundle.js'
... etc ...
], request.GET)
context.update(bender_assets.generate_context_dict())
return contextAnd lastly, in your base template you'll need to include these templates:
<head>
...
{% include "asset_bender/scaffold/head.html" %}
...
</head>
<body>
...
{% include "asset_bender/scaffold/end_of_body.html" %}
</body>To manually include a particular static asset in your HTML, use the template tag:
{% load asset_bender_tags %}
{% bender_url "project_name/static/js/my-file.js" %}
The tag will output a full url with the proper domain and version number (as specified by this projects's dependencies).
