Tag to specify a single target URL

[sbaechler]

I have a use-case where I need to specify the URL to a generated CSS file within a Javascript options object. I therefore need the publicPath without the HTML tags.

I have created a working implementation here but maybe there is a better way to do it.
https://github.com/sbaechler/django-webpack-loader/blob/tag/webpack_loader/templatetags/webpack_loader.py

I am using the new tag in the CKeditor config. 'editor' is the name of the CSS bundle:

CKEDITOR.config.contentsCss = '{% bundle_item_url 'editor' 'css' %}';

Looks good except we should use name of the chunk instead of the positional index. Also, for the sake of consistency, lets name it get_chunks as it is a verb like render_bundle.

{% get_chunks 'editor' 'css' as 'editor_css_chunks' %} would give us a list of all CSS files in the editor chunk as a list referenced by editor_css_chunks. Then users can fetch [0], loop over it or use any custom logic.

I'd also return all information (file name, path, publicPath) as a dict instead of just the URL.

Your use case would look like

{% get_chunks 'editor' 'css' as 'editor_css_chunks' %}
CKEDITOR.config.contentsCss = '{{ editor_css_chunks[0].publicPath }}';

Makes sense?

@sbaechler Just released 0.2.0 to the cheeseshop. I renamed get_chunks to get_files as chunks could get confused with webpack's chunks. A bundle contains multiple chunks and each chunks contains multiple files.
