In order to speed up the loading speed of the website, we usually have to compress more js and css. These js and css compression work if all manual processing, time-consuming and laborious.
Django Compressor can realize the automatic compression of js/css. Django Compressor in the ease of use is very good, according to the documentation to do a simple setup will work. Strongly recommend that you go to the document will be a complete look over (the document is very short).
To use Django Compressor, you just need to put the css/js into the compress tag and Django Compressor will process it automatically. In debug mode, Django Compressor will not do any processing. In non-debug mode, Django Compressor will automatically compress the js/css and output the compressed issue to django's STATIC_ROOT directory. So please make sure that the STATIC_ROOT directory is set up correctly.
{% load compress %}
{% compress <js/css> [<file/inline> [block_name]] %}
<html of inline or linked JS/CSS>
{% endcompress %}
{% compress css %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/" type="text/css" charset="utf-8">
{% endcompress %}
Coffeescript, less support
In the development stage coffeescript and less can be used directly to deal with js, in the official release in the loading speed considerations need to be pre-compiled into js and css. Django Compressor provides COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS settings, according to the type type of pre-processing.
COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
('text/coffeescript', 'coffee --compile --stdio'),
('text/less', 'lessc {infile} {outfile}'),
('text/x-sass', 'sass {infile} {outfile}'),
('text/x-scss', 'sass --scss {infile} {outfile}'),
)
