Django Encore

This library integrates Webpack Encore into your Django application like it does Webpack Encore Bundle for Symfony.

Usage

1. Install the library from PyPI:

pip install django-encore

2. Configure your settings.py file:

Include the library:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'encore',
]

Add ENCORE_ENTRYPOINTS_FILE and change STATICFILES_DIRS:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets_build'),
]

ENCORE_ENTRYPOINTS_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets_build') + '/build/entrypoints.json'

3. Use template tags in your templates:

{% load encore %}

{% block javascripts %}
    {{ block.super }}
    {% encore_entry_script_tags 'demo1' %}
{% endblock %}

{% block stylesheets %}
    {{ block.super }}
    {% encore_entry_link_tags 'demo1' %}
{% endblock %}

See the example folder for more details.

Development

First of all, install dependencies by pipenv:

cd example/webapp

pipenv install --dev
pipenv shell # to shell with virtual environment

Second, build files using Encore:

npm run dev

Then you can start the web server:

python manage.py runserver
