It sounds like you're actually proposing two things here. 1) Using Django to serve static files. There already exists a mechanism for Django to accomplish this during development, detailed here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/ , although it's not a good idea to use this in production.
2) Using Django to compile, compress, and obfuscate javascript into one file. This sounds like something that's a bit more reasonable, although some might argue that you could write a utility to do this up- front, and let the server serve it statically. Someone has done something very similar to your proposal, but with images, and you can check that out here: http://www.djangosnippets.org/tags/imagebundle/ . The way that amitu went about promoting his/her imagebundle was a really good approach: write some code, paste it to djangosnippets.org, and see if others find it useful. If you're looking to implement your Javascript obfuscation and merging filter, you might want to go a similar route. Hopefully that helps. -Eric Florenzano On Dec 11, 6:30 pm, "Mike Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey All, > > I've been looking at how to better serve my static files for django sites, > and I'm particularly interested in things like Javascript handling. > > For example if we were to look at RoR, they have their include tags which > can automatically compile javascript into one big file, compressing and > obfusicating it. > > Is this an approach the bulk of the Django community are interested in > taking or is it something that we should leave to the things that do it > best, ie: Apache and the like. > > Regards, > > Mike Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
