Have:
I have a Django app. It has react for front-end. I have 2 django apps. movies_list and series_list. I have all my .jsx files inside baseapplication/movies_list/interfaces/ and baseapplication/series_list/interfaces/. The entry point of 2 apps is given ...../index as given in entry object of web-pack.config.js .
Need:
I need to put my compiled .js files inside baseapplication/movies_list/static/movies_list and baseapplication/series_list/static/series_list. So I need to find each entry in entry and get the abs path and construct my output path dynamically for the future apps. This will help my python manage.py collectstatic to get static files from each directory.
How to configure the output to make it dynamic?
module.exports = {
//The base directory (absolute path) for resolving the entry option
context: __dirname,
entry: {
movies: '../movies_list/interfaces/index',
series: '../series_list/interfaces/index',
},
output: {
// I need help here.
path: path.join('<', "static"),
//path: path.resolve('../[entry]/static/react_bundles/'),
filename: "[name].js",
},
}

You can set entry points to a full path of the resulting file. Something like this should work:
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
entry: {
'baseapplication/movies_list/static/movies_list/index': '../movies_list/interfaces/index',
'baseapplication/series_list/static/series_list/index': '../series_list/interfaces/index',
},
output: {
path: './',
filename: "[name].js",
},
}

I am trying to configure a .j2 Jinja file.
I have just pasted a small part of the .j2 file.
My question only concerns with how to tune the location variable. Please ignore the other parts of .j2 file.
The location - was designed to map 2 URLs
/api/provisions/services/v2/Customers
/api/provisions/services/v2/Orgs
{
# Location to forward the internal traffic
location ~ ^/api/provisions/services/v2/(Customers|Orgs)$ {
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET)$ ) {
return 403 "Forbidden";
}
}
}
Now I want to modify it to add third URL.
/api/provisions/services/v2/Subscriptions/123,
where 123 is the subscription id
I attempted the following modification.
Solution 1:
{
location ~ ^/api/provisions/services/v2/(Customers|Orgs|Subscriptions/(.*))$
}
Solution 2:
location ~ ^/api/provisions/services/v2/(Customers|Orgs|Subscriptions/([-0-9a-z]+))$
Questions
Is solution 1 correct?
Is solution 1 preferred?
I'm using Constance - Dynamic Django settings to configure some values in my project.
according to Constance, I should add all the configurations in the settings.py file.
but I need to separate this configuration in another file.
I tried to extend the settings file by doing the code below, but it didn't work
it is not reading the value from that new file.
from .settings import *
CONSTANCE_ADDITIONAL_FIELDS = {
'corres_format_select': ['django.forms.fields.ChoiceField', {
'widget': 'django.forms.Select',
'choices': (("xx - xx", "xx - xx"), ("xx/xx", "xx/xx"), ("xx : xx", "xx : xx"))}],
'date_format_select': ['django.forms.fields.ChoiceField', {
'widget': 'django.forms.Select',
'choices': (("dd/mm/yyyy", "dd/mm/yyyy"), ("mm/dd/yyyy", "mm/dd/yyyy"), ("dd-mm-yyyy", "dd-mm-yyyy"))}],
}
CONSTANCE_CONFIG = {
'Correspondence_format': ("xx - xx", 'Choose the correspondce format', 'corres_format_select'),
'Date_format': ("dd/mm/yyyy", 'Choose the date format', 'date_format_select'),
}
write in another file and import into setting file
You need to point your manage.py, and maybe uwsgi.py file to that new file instead of settings.py.
I have a site built with Django, Python and Wagtail.
What I want is to be able to add some styles in the backend and then use it in my frontent's .scss files.
For example I want to be able to set a primary color to #fff via backend and then use it in my .scss file as:
$g-color-primary: primary_color_from_backend;
$g-font-size-default: primary_font_size_from_backend;
I do not have any idea how I can do that and if it's possible at all?
Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately, it is not possible. You can instead define different classes in the CSS file, then use them in your HTML template dependent on the Django template variables there.
This would require to write out the sass color variables content (with scss syntax) in a physical .scss file, which depends on your development environment. And then import it into other .scss file to get compiled and output through a frontend build process tool like Gulp, Webpack.
For example, Webpack's sass-loader plugin provides option to prepend sass code at Frontend build/compile time.
https://github.com/webpack-contrib/sass-loader
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.s[ac]ss$/i,
use: [
'style-loader',
'css-loader',
{
loader: 'sass-loader',
options: {
prependData: '$env: ' + process.env.NODE_ENV + ';',
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
I am trying to serve static files using CherryPy but I am unable to. I have looked in the tutorials but setting it up like that is also not working properly.
All this is using Python 3.4
Config
config = {
'/ws': {
'tools.websocket.on': True,
'tools.websocket.handler_cls': ChatWebSocketHandler,
'tools.websocket.protocols': ['toto', 'mytest', 'hithere']
},
'/assets': {
'tools.staticdir.on': True,
'tools.staticdir.dir': constants.TEMPLATE_PATH
},
}
I am starting up cherryPy like this
app_root = Root(args.host, args.port, args.ssl, ssl_port=args.ssl_port)
cherrypy.quickstart(app_root, '', config=config)
Constant Path is
TEMPLATE_PATH = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)),"assets/")
I have tried using paths like assets/, /assets/ as well instead of the above constant.
The thing is it does not recognize anyone of them and always gives a 404 error.
I too have had difficulty setting this up. I have a rather complicated setup complete with multiple subdomains that has evolve through several early versions of CherryPy which may no longer be valid, and I've not verified this will work in the simpler quickstart configuration you have here. However the key lines in a setup that actually works for me is to put the config lines below in the webservice object that you mount. I put the config dict that defines the static dir in the class definition before any resources. It looks to me like you've defined your static dir in the configuration dict rather of a specific resource rather than the object. So perhaps try in your hosted service object:
class WebService(object):
_cp_config = {
'tools.staticdir.on': True,
'tools.staticdir.dir': '/path/to/serve/static/files/from'
}
#cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
[ ...additional resource definitions, etc ...]
Then later on:
my_cp_app =
cherrypy.tree.mount(subDomain.WebService(),
'/subdomainFileLocation',
subdomainConfigDict)
cherrypy.quickstart(config=domainConfig)
I know you're working on Python 3. This above works for me on Python 2.7 + cherrypy-8.1.2. I hope this is helpful.
I am getting started with django-pipeline. If I understand it correctly, I need to specify the directories with my CSS/JS files to compress them. However, this is a tedious task as my project is quite big and has static files here and there (not only under /static/ directory).
I saw that it has collectstatic integration but it is not what I thought: it just runs the compressor after collecting the static files, and will only compress the files you manually specified in the settings and not all the static files.
Is there any way I could tell django-pipeline to just compress every static file I have?
You can use glob syntax to select multiples files. Like this way,
You don't want to use collectstatic right ?
then use this way,
from django.contrib.staticfiles import finders
all_js = ["{0}/{1}".format(st,"*.js") for st in finders.find("", all=True)]
all_css = ["{0}/{1}".format(st,"*.css") for st in finders.find("", all=True)]
PIPELINE_CSS = {
'colors': {
'source_filenames': tuple(all_css),
'output_filename': 'css/colors.css',
'extra_context': {
'media': 'screen,projection',
},
},
}
PIPELINE_JS = {
'stats': {
'source_filenames': tuple(all_js),
'output_filename': 'js/stats.js',
}
}
