django-coldbrew started as a fork of Django Coffeescript.
ColdBrew provides template tags to compile CoffeeScript into JavaScript from templates. It works with both inline code and external files.
- Add
"coldbrew"
toINSTALLED_APPS
setting. - Make sure that you have
coffee
executable installed. See CoffeeScript official site for details. - Optionally, you can specify the full path to
coffee
executable withCOFFEESCRIPT_EXECUTABLE
setting. By default it's set tocoffee
.
{% load coldbrew %} <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_URL}}{% coffeescript "path/to/script.coffee" %}"> </script>
renders to
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/COFFEESCRIPT_CACHE/path/to/script-91ce1f66f583.js"> </script>
{% load coldbrew %} <script type="text/javascript"> {% inlinecoffeescript %} console.log "Hello, World!" {% endinlinecoffeescript %} </script>
renders to
<script type="text/javascript"> (function() { console.log("Hello, World!"); }).call(this); </script>
Note that by default compiled files are saved into COFFEESCRIPT_CACHE
folder under your STATIC_ROOT
(or MEDIA_ROOT
if you have no STATIC_ROOT
in your settings).
You can change this folder name with COLDBREW_CUP
setting.
