Flask-Staticify
A simple extension that makes it possible to define the additional static locations
your Flask application will traverse as a fallback. Miss Django's STATICFILES_DIRS setting?
This mimics that functionallty.
Only works when app.debug is set to True.
Usage
Let's have an example from the scratch:
>>> from flask.ext.staticify import mount_folders
>>> app.debug = True
# Ah, snap!
>>> app.test_client().get('/static/app.js')
<Response [404]>
>>> STATICIFY_FOLDERS = (
... os.path.join(app.root_path, 'tmp'),
... ('prefix', 'path/to/folder')
>>> )
# Mounting will override the endpoint='static' view function
# to look also into the additional folders as a fallback.
>>> mount_folders(app, STATICIFY_FOLDERS)
# And that's it!
>>> app.test_client().get('/static/app.js')
<Response [200]>API
mount_folders(app, locations)
A single top-level function where the all magic comes from.
- locations
- an iterable of strings with the additional static locations. It also accepts a 2-tuple of the form
(prefix, folder)and using a prefix is a way to connect specific urls with a folder directly.
Install
$ pip install Flask-Staticify
