Django Compress setup

1. Install Django-Compress

For windows:

a. pipinstall wheel==0.29.0

b.pipinstall rcssmin==1.0.6 --install-option="--without-c-extensions"

c.pipinstall rjsmin==1.0.12 --install-option="--without-c-extensions"

d.pipinstall django_compressor==2.0

For Linux:

a.pipinstall django_compressor==2.0

2.Enable Feature

settings.py

a. append 'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder' to STATICFILES_FINDERS
b. COMPRESS_ENABLED=True (If DEBUG=True, need explicit declaration)

c.COMPRESS_OFFLINE=True (如果希望离线压缩文件，需要手动打开设置)

d.append template variable to COMPRESS_OFFLINE_CONTEXT (因为compress所包含的模板片段可能会有变量，需要显示指定)

eg:

COMPRESS_OFFLINE_CONTEXT = {

    'URL_PREFIX': URL_PREFIX,

    'STATIC_URL': STATIC_URL

}

3.Use Compress

a.{% load compress %}

b.{% compress css %}{% endcompress %}  ( generate .css )

c.{% compress js %}{% endcompress %} ( generate .js )
