Offline generation about django-compressor HOT 12 CLOSED

AWSOME!!!

I've worked on this a bit more and just merged it with the develop branch. Thank you!

from django-compressor.

I've also worked on tests a bit, see the results here: http://dpaste.de/UI8t/ \o/

Cool :)

I noticed that you removed the COMPRESS_OFFLINE setting. In my use-case I wanted to make aboslutely sure that no compression occurs "online" (i.e. I'd rather have the users download the uncompressed files than to spend processing time on compression). How do you feel about this?

Nah, no worries, I've actually re-added it here: e4fba59

from django-compressor.

I need to compress offline generating both the minified and a gzipped version.
cache/css/66c5c8dd8334.css
cache/css/66c5c8dd8334.gz
cache/js/05ca8f5045b6.js
cache/js/05ca8f5045b6.js.gz

The idea is also to save processing, by manually gzipping at compress time, instead of turning it on in nginx. I'd be happy to work on it if this a feature that may be desired in django_compressor. Thoughts?

./manage.py compress --gzip

This isn't different to any other compressing, so you can use an own storage backend to gzip the results. In fact the tests actually contain a working example: https://github.com/jezdez/django_compressor/blob/master/compressor/tests/storage.py No idea if this should be blessed and put directly in the compressor.storage module. What do you think?

from django-compressor.

I didn't get to reading into a custom storage backend, maybe that is the right approach for this app.

I don't have a strong opinion on if it needs to be in the options by default, though gzipping is a best practice, I think most people turn in on in their webserver. Maybe this is an edge case for high traffic sites.

Well, let's move the storage backend from the tests module to the compressor.storage module so you'll be able to set COMPRESS_STORAGE_BACKEND = 'compressor.storage.GzipCompressorFileStorage'

from django-compressor.

Ok, moved the storage backend in bcf1efe

Nice, works perfect. Though it is COMPRESS_STORAGE not COMPRESS_STORAGE_BACKEND

from django-compressor.

Just read the default compression level of the gzip library is 9 (slowest but best compression). Awesome, because the bash tool defaults to 6.

Awesome :)
