Handling of External Javascript and CSS Components
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
This directory (``ietf/static/``) exists for the sole purpose of providing a visible
|
|
location for ``ietf/static/bower.json``, a bower_ file which lists the external
|
|
web assets used by the datatracker.
|
|
|
|
In order to update the version of a component listed in ``ietf/static/bower.json``,
|
|
or add a new one, you should edit ``bower.json``, and then run the management command::
|
|
|
|
$ ietf/manage.py bower_install
|
|
|
|
That command will fetch the required version of each external component listed in ``bower.json``
|
|
(actually, it will do this for *all* ``bower.json`` files found in the ``static/`` directories
|
|
of all ``INSTALLED_APPS`` and the directories in ``settings.STATICFILES_DIRS``), saving them
|
|
temporarily under ``.tmp/bower_components/``; it will then extract the relevant ``js`` and
|
|
``css`` files and place them in an appropriately named directory under ``static/lib/``. The
|
|
latter location is controlled by ``COMPONENT_ROOT`` in ``settings.py``.
|
|
|
|
(Not surprisingly, you need to have bower_ installed in order to use this management command.)
