django_livejs

django_livejs contains a middleware that inserts live.js in each response in order to update assets when are updated. Read live.js documentation for more information.

quick start

• add django_livejs.middleware.LivejsMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
• set LIVEJS = True in your development settings

this middlware only works when DEBUG is True, reponse is pass thorugh when is False

available settings

LIVEJS = False # enable/disable live updating
LIVEJS_URL = 'http://livejs.com/live.js' # url to live.js file

Your application templates can be updated when you change them if you enable ETAGS in your settings:

USE_ETAGS = True

CommonMiddleware must be in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in order to use ETAGS (by default it's enabled)
