Re: GSOC Proposal (Bundler for Django)

[Kiran Capoor]

Hi,

This has already been implemented via multiple Third party Projects - 

1. Django Webpack Loader by owais- 

https://github.com/owais/django-webpack-loader

2. Cookie-cutter Django Webpack by myself(not production ready though) -

https://github.com/kiran-capoor94/cookiecutter-django-webpack

Many more are there.

Also, forcing users to use a bundler like webpack is not really preferred  by many. Some might want to use gulp, or maybe nothing at all. 

Regards,

Kiran Capoor

Ashik's proposal is more along the lines of a general asset pipeline, a la django-compressor or django-pipeline, rather than a webpack builder. Regardless, I count 30+ asset pipeline systems at https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/asset-managers/ .

Yes, as a personal project sure thing. If you need help ask on django users or respective forum. Contributing to Open Source doesn't really mean to start with GSoC. Start with a pet project and keep working on it.

Good luck!

Hi Ashik,

Thanks for your proposal that I find revelant because there needs to be a new version of staticfiles.

Supporting NPM, one way or another, is the main way to enjoy the same development workflow with frontend code as with pip. For me it would make sense to support it, one way or another. {% block extra_js %} overrides kind of works, but overriding frontend code delivered by an app is far from convenient when it involves copying a minified script from an app into an override static dir and patching that minified code. Also dealing with {{ form.media }} definitely doesn't cut it, ie. when if you load jquery in your base.html and a form media also contains a jquery, this means we load the same script twice, and that also causes issues ie. with plugin loading. So it doesn't look like anybody would deny that static file management in Django needs an upgrade.

However, the suggestion to contribute to other existing third party apps is valid. Before contributing to Django you need to study the current state of the art in the Django ecosystem, that lives in external projects. Contribute to those, see why you believe they don't cut it, and make a write up the existing django static file apps ecosystem, that would be a great start.

Have a great day

PS: also check how other python frameworks deal with static files, particularly the cubicweb framework.

[Ashik Meerankutty]

Ok thank you for your feedback I will check it 😊
