django-compressor-parceljs is base on Django-Compressor. It provides additional support to bundles and minifies your typescript, vue, react, scss etc, in a Django template into cacheable static files using parceljs.
For more information on how django-compressor-parceljs really works visit Django-Compressor
Install django-compress:
pip install django-compressor-parceljsInstall parcel-bundler:
npm install -g parcelAdd it to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'compressor',
...
)
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
# other finders..
'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder',
)To minify your code for production, you need to set COMPRESS_ENABLED and COMPRESS_OFFLINE to true in settings.py.
From django-compressor settings, the value of COMPRESS_ENABLED = !DEBUG, in settings.py.
COMPRESS_ENABLED = True
COMPRESS_OFFLINE = True
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')Then run,
python manage.py compress --setting path-to-your-production-settingsFor more information on django-compressor-settings
In your template, load compress {% load compress %} then use {% compress parcel %} <script> {% endcompress %} to load a script. for example:
{% load static %}
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Vue Django Testing</title>
</head>
<body>
....
{% compress parcel file myts %}
<script src="{% static 'js/index.ts' %}"></script>
{% endcompress %}
</body>
...You can use other directories in your project which are not marked as static files with django-compressor-parceljs.
This feature was added to avoid exposing your real code structure, like your front-end components source, to the real world via static urls.
Django-compressor-parceljs provides another tag {% private_static %} which works like the normal django static tag {% static %} to enable you work with a seperate directory registered in COMPRESS_PRIVATE_DIRS in settings.py. And they won't be accessed via any url.
Private directory setup :
settings.pyCOMPRESS_PRIVATE_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'my_dir'),
....
]some_file.html{% load static %}
{% load compress %}
{% load private_static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Vue Django Testing</title>
</head>
<body>
....
{% compress parcel file myts %}
<script src="{% private_static 'js/index.js' %}"></script>
{% endcompress %}
</body>
...Create a vue project in your django project root. See the demo project django_vue or with react :
npm init --yes
npm install -D vue-template-compiler @vue/component-compiler-utils
npm install vueIn your django project app create :
static/components/test.vue
static/js/index.jsIn static/components/test.vue,
<template>
<div>
<h1>{{ message }}</h1>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "app",
components: {},
data: {
message: "Hello Vue",
},
computed: {}
};
</script>
<style lang="scss">
</style>In static/js/index.js,
import Vue from "vue";
import test from "../components/test.vue";
new Vue(test).$mount("#components-demo");In your django template,
{% load static %}
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Vue Django Testing</title>
</head>
<body>
....
<div id="components-demo"></div>
{% compress parcel file myjs %}
<script src="{% static 'js/index.js' %}"></script>
{% endcompress %}
</body>
...Run runserver :
python manage.py runserverYou have successfully bundled your vue app into your django template.
Integrating compilers into django-compressor is quiet very easy. All you need is to provide a COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS option in django settings.py. For more information visit django-compressor precompilers
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}'),
('text/stylus', 'stylus < {infile} > {outfile}'),
('text/foobar', 'path.to.MyPrecompilerFilter'),
)Use compressor.filters.parceljs.ParserFilterCSS on scss, sass or less in COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS options as filter. For example:
COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
# ('text/coffeescript', 'coffee --compile --stdio'),
('text/less', 'compressor.filters.parceljs.ParserFilterCSS'),
# ('text/x-sass', 'sass {infile} {outfile}'),
('text/x-scss', 'compressor.filters.parceljs.ParserFilterCSS'),
# ('text/stylus', 'stylus < {infile} > {outfile}'),
# ('text/foobar', 'path.to.MyPrecompilerFilter'),
)In your template,
{% load static %}
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Vue Django Testing</title>
{% compress css file style %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/x-scss" href="{% static 'css/style.scss'%}">
{% endcompress %}
</head>
<body>
.......Add the type="text/x-scss" for django-compressor to use the precompiler options to compile the asset.
There is alittle drawback with parceljs css url resolver. There is no configuration for parceljs to ignore resolving css url since django will always resolve static urls automatically. Read more this issue
A solution is to use ///.. on the url path followed by /static/(path_to_file)
body{
background-color: lightblue;
background-image: url(///../static/img/ssd/avatar1.png);
button{
font-size: .8rem;
}
}Add lang attribute to the script tag <script lang="ts"></script> :
npm init --yes
npm install -D @babel/core, @babel/preset-env, typescript{% load static %}
{% load compress %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Vue Django Testing</title>
</head>
<body>
....
{% compress parcel file myts %}
<script lang="ts">
interface IUser {
name: string,
age: number
}
class User implements IUser{
constructor(user:IUser){
this.name = user.name
this.age = user.age
}
name: string
age: number
get_name = () => {
return this.name
};
}
const Peter = new User({name:'Peter', age:32})
console.log(Peter)
</script>
{% endcompress %}
</body>
