The staticfiles app
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.contrib.staticfiles
|
|
:synopsis: An app for handling static files.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.3
|
|
|
|
``django.contrib.staticfiles`` collects static files from each of your
|
|
applications (and any other places you specify) into a single location that
|
|
can easily be served in production.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
For an introduction to the static files app and some usage examples, see
|
|
:doc:`/howto/static-files`.
|
|
|
|
.. _staticfiles-settings:
|
|
|
|
Settings
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: python
|
|
|
|
The following settings control the behavior of the staticfiles app. Only
|
|
:setting:`STATICFILES_ROOT` is required, but you'll probably also need to
|
|
configure :setting:`STATICFILES_URL` as well.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: STATICFILES_ROOT
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_ROOT
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The absolute path to the directory that holds static files::
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_ROOT = "/home/example.com/static/"
|
|
|
|
This is a **required setting** unless you've overridden
|
|
:setting:`STATICFILES_STORAGE` and are using a custom storage backend.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: STATICFILES_URL
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_URL
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'/static/'``
|
|
|
|
The URL that handles the files served from :setting:`STATICFILES_ROOT`, e.g.::
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_URL = '/site_media/static/'
|
|
|
|
... or perhaps::
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_URL = 'http://static.example.com/'
|
|
|
|
This should **always** have a trailing slash.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: STATICFILES_DIRS
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_DIRS
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``[]``
|
|
|
|
This setting defines the additional locations the staticfiles app will traverse
|
|
if the :class:`FileSystemFinder` finder is enabled, e.g. if you use the
|
|
:djadmin:`collectstatic` or :djadmin:`findstatic` management command or use the
|
|
static file serving view.
|
|
|
|
This should be set to a list or tuple of strings that contain full paths to
|
|
your additional files directory(ies) e.g.::
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
|
|
"/home/special.polls.com/polls/static",
|
|
"/home/polls.com/polls/static",
|
|
"/opt/webfiles/common",
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
In case you want to refer to files in one of the locations with a additional
|
|
namespace, you can **optionally** provide a prefix as ``(prefix, path)``
|
|
tuples, e.g.::
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
|
|
"/home/polls.com/polls/static",
|
|
("downloads", "/opt/webfiles/stats"),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
With this configuration, the :djadmin:`collectstatic` management command would
|
|
for example collect the stats files in a ``'downloads'`` directory. So
|
|
assuming you have :setting:`STATICFILES_URL` set ``'/static/'``, this would
|
|
allow you to refer to the file ``'/opt/webfiles/stats/polls_20101022.tar.gz'``
|
|
with ``'/static/downloads/polls_20101022.tar.gz'`` in your templates.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: STATICFILES_STORAGE
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_STORAGE
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage'``
|
|
|
|
The file storage engine to use when collecting static files with the
|
|
:djadmin:`collectstatic` management command.
|
|
|
|
For an example, see :ref:`staticfiles-from-cdn`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: STATICFILES_FINDERS
|
|
|
|
STATICFILES_FINDERS
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Default::
|
|
|
|
("django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder",
|
|
"django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder")
|
|
|
|
The list of finder backends that know how to find static files in
|
|
various locations.
|
|
|
|
The default will find files stored in the :setting:`STATICFILES_DIRS` setting
|
|
(using :class:`django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder`) and in a
|
|
``static`` subdirectory of each app (using
|
|
:class:`django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder`)
|
|
|
|
One finder is disabled by default:
|
|
:class:`django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder`. If added to
|
|
your :setting:`STATICFILES_FINDERS` setting, it will look for static files in
|
|
the default file storage as defined by the :setting:`DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE`
|
|
setting.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
When using the :class:`AppDirectoriesFinder` finder, make sure your apps can
|
|
be found by Django's app loading mechanism. Simply include a ``models``
|
|
module (an empty ``models.py`` file suffices) and add the app to the
|
|
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting of your site.
|
|
|
|
Static file finders are currently considered a private interface, and this
|
|
interface is thus undocumented.
|
|
|
|
Management Commands
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: console
|
|
|
|
``django.contrib.staticfiles`` exposes two management commands.
|
|
|
|
collectstatic
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
.. django-admin:: collectstatic
|
|
|
|
Collects the static files into :setting:`STATICFILES_ROOT`.
|
|
|
|
Duplicate file names are by default resolved in a similar way to how template
|
|
resolution works: the file that is first found in one of the specified
|
|
locations will be used. If you're confused, the :djadmin:`findstatic` command
|
|
can help show you which files are found.
|
|
|
|
Files are searched by using the :setting:`enabled finders
|
|
<STATICFILES_FINDERS>`. The default is to look in all locations defined in
|
|
:setting:`STATICFILES_DIRS` and in the ``'static'`` directory of apps
|
|
specified by the :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting.
|
|
|
|
Some commonly used options are:
|
|
|
|
``--noinput``
|
|
Do NOT prompt the user for input of any kind.
|
|
|
|
``-i PATTERN`` or ``--ignore=PATTERN``
|
|
Ignore files or directories matching this glob-style pattern. Use multiple
|
|
times to ignore more.
|
|
|
|
``-n`` or ``--dry-run``
|
|
Do everything except modify the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
``-l`` or ``--link``
|
|
Create a symbolic link to each file instead of copying.
|
|
|
|
``--no-default-ignore``
|
|
Don't ignore the common private glob-style patterns ``'CVS'``, ``'.*'``
|
|
and ``'*~'``.
|
|
|
|
For a full list of options, refer to the commands own help by running::
|
|
|
|
$ python manage.py collectstatic --help
|
|
|
|
findstatic
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. django-admin:: findstatic
|
|
|
|
Searches for one or more relative paths with the enabled finders.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ python manage.py findstatic css/base.css admin/js/core.js
|
|
/home/special.polls.com/core/static/css/base.css
|
|
/home/polls.com/core/static/css/base.css
|
|
/home/polls.com/src/django/contrib/admin/media/js/core.js
|
|
|
|
By default, all matching locations are found. To only return the first match
|
|
for each relative path, use the ``--first`` option::
|
|
|
|
$ python manage.py findstatic css/base.css --first
|
|
/home/special.polls.com/core/static/css/base.css
|
|
|
|
This is a debugging aid; it'll show you exactly which static file will be
|
|
collected for a given path.
|
|
|
|
Other Helpers
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The ``staticfiles`` context processor
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles
|
|
|
|
This context processor adds the :setting:`STATICFILES_URL` into each template
|
|
context as the variable ``{{ STATICFILES_URL }}``. To use it, make sure that
|
|
``'django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles'`` appears
|
|
somewhere in your :setting:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` setting.
|
|
|
|
Remember, only templates rendered with :class:`~django.template.RequestContext`
|
|
will have acces to the data provided by this (and any) context processor.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: get_staticfiles_prefix
|
|
|
|
The ``get_staticfiles_prefix`` templatetag
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: html+django
|
|
|
|
If you're not using :class:`~django.template.RequestContext`, or if you need
|
|
more control over exactly where and how :setting:`STATICFILES_URL` is injected
|
|
into the template, you can use the :ttag:`get_staticfiles_prefix` template tag
|
|
instead::
|
|
|
|
{% load staticfiles %}
|
|
<img src="{% get_staticfiles_prefix %}images/hi.jpg" />
|
|
|
|
There's also a second form you can use to avoid extra processing if you need
|
|
the value multiple times::
|
|
|
|
{% load staticfiles %}
|
|
{% get_staticfiles_prefix as STATIC_PREFIX %}
|
|
|
|
<img src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi.jpg" />
|
|
<img src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi2.jpg" />
|
|
|
|
.. _staticfiles-development-view:
|
|
|
|
Static file development view
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: python
|
|
|
|
.. function:: django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve(request, path)
|
|
|
|
This view function serves static files in development.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
This view will only work if :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``.
|
|
|
|
That's because this view is **grossly inefficient** and probably
|
|
**insecure**. This is only intended for local development, and should
|
|
**never be used in production**.
|
|
|
|
To use the view, add the following snippet to the end of your primary URL
|
|
configuration::
|
|
|
|
from django.conf import settings
|
|
|
|
if settings.DEBUG:
|
|
urlpatterns = patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
|
|
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'serve'),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
Note, the begin of the pattern (``r'^static/'``) should be your
|
|
:setting:`STATICFILES_URL` setting.
|
|
|
|
Since this is a bit finicky, there's also a helper function that'll do this for you:
|
|
|
|
.. function:: django.contrib.staticfiles.urls.staticfiles_urlpatterns()
|
|
|
|
This will return the proper URL pattern for serving static files to your
|
|
already defined pattern list. Use it like this::
|
|
|
|
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
|
|
|
|
# ... the rest of your URLconf here ...
|
|
|
|
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
|
|
|
