An opinionated Webassets integration for Morepath.
This package is somewhat similar to more.static, which integrates bowerstatic into Morepath. It is currently not really used anywhere, so you should probably stick to more.static.
Now that you are sufficently discouraged from using more.webassets, these are the reasons it might be for you:
- You don't have to learn about javascript package managers (i.e. Bower).
- You can have your assets compiled on the fly.
- Your stylesheets are rendered at the top, your scripts at the bottom. No configuration necessary.
If you are alreay familiar with webassets: This package might not be as powerful as you're used to. It currently has little flexibility. It's also the first time the author uses webassets, so things might be off.
If you're using Webassets differently than me and you want your ways to work with more.webassets, do open an issue. I'm happy to turn this into something more powerful.
The following app serves a minified jquery from assets/js/jquery.js (relative to the code):
from more.webassets import WebassetsApp
class App(WebassetsApp):
pass
@App.webasset_path()
def get_asset_path():
return 'assets/js'
@App.webasset_output()
def get_output_path():
return 'assets/bundles'
@App.webasset_filter('js')
def get_js_filter():
return 'rjsmin'
@App.webasset('jquery')
def get_jquery_asset():
yield 'jquery.js'
@App.path('')
class Root(object):
pass
@App.html(model=Root)
def index(self, request):
request.include('jquery')
return '<html><head></head><body>hello</body></html>'This will result in the following html (formatted for readability):
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
hello
<script type="text/javascript" src="./assets/jquery.bundle.js?1234"></script>
</body>
</html>For it to work you need an 'assets/js' folder with a 'jquery.js' file in the same folder as your python file where 'MyApp' is defined.
To activate webassets debug mode use the following environment variable:
MORE_WEBASSETS_DEBUG=1
Most documentation is currently found in source code. Have a look at the comments in the directives file.
Install tox and run it:
pip install tox tox
Limit the tests to a specific python version:
tox -e py27
More Webassets follows PEP8 as close as possible. To test for it run:
tox -e pep8
More Webassets uses Semantic Versioning
