Project description

Auto-detects your static files for minification, combination, and versioning. Like Django-Compressor for Flask.

Installation

pip install flask-static-compress

Usage

Just wrap your existing css/js with a compress block and Flask-Static-Compress handles the rest:

{% compress 'css' %}
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/sass" href="file.sass">
{% endcompress %}

{% compress 'js' %}
  <script type="text/coffeescript" src="file.js"></script>
{% endcompress %}

Also, initialize the extension inside your Flask app:

from flask_static_compress import FlaskStaticCompress
app = Flask(__name__)
compress = FlaskStaticCompress(app)

All static assets inside a compress block are compressed into a single file, and the html is updated to use the new file when rendering the template.

The type attribute is used to decide which compressor to use for the asset.

Use offline compression for improved performance.

Create custom compressors to support more types of static files.
