  • djblets.extensions.packaging¶

    Support for packaging extensions.

    Changed in version 5.0: This has been split into sub-modules. Consumers should update any older imports for this module to instead import from djblets.extensions.packaging.setuptools_backend.

    class BuildPy(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

    Bases: ClassMovedMixin, BuildPy

    Setuptools command for building Python files.

    This is meant as a replacement for the standard build_py command that will trigger a build of static media files.

    Deprecated since version 5.0: This has been moved to djblets.extensions.packaging. setuptools_backend.BuildPy. The legacy import will be removed in Djblets 7.

    __annotations__ = {}¶
    class BuildStaticFiles(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

    Bases: ClassMovedMixin, BuildStaticFiles

    Builds static files for the extension.

    This will build the static media files used by the extension. JavaScript bundles will be minified and versioned. CSS bundles will be processed through LessCSS (if using .less files), minified and versioned.

    This must be subclassed by the project offering the extension support. The subclass must provide the extension_entrypoint_group and django_settings_module parameters.

    Deprecated since version 5.0: This has been moved to djblets.extensions.packaging. setuptools_backend.BuildStaticFiles. The legacy import will be removed in Djblets 7.

    npm_install(package_spec: Optional[str] = None) → None[source]¶

    Install a package via npm.

    This will first determine if npm is available, and then attempt to install the given package.

    Deprecated since version 5.0: This will be removed in Djblets 7. Please see StaticMediaBuilder for build customization.

    Parameters:

    package_spec (str, optional) – The package specification (name and optional version range) to install. If not specified, this will use the default behavior of reading package.json.

    get_lessc_global_vars() → dict[str, Any][source]¶

    Return a dictionary of LessCSS global variables and their values.

    This can be implemented by subclasses to provide global variables for .less files for processing.

    By default, this defines two variables: STATIC_ROOT and DEBUG.

    STATIC_ROOT is set to /static/. Any imports using @{STATIC_ROOT} will effectively look up the requested file in <import_path>/@{STATIC_ROOT}. This assumes that the project serving the static files keeps them in static/appname/.

    Projects using less.js for the runtime can then define STATIC_ROOT to settings.STATIC_URL, ensuring lookups work for development and packaged extensions.

    DEBUG is set to false. Runtimes using less.js can set this to settings.DEBUG for templates. This can be useful for LessCSS guards.

    Deprecated since version 5.0: This will be removed in Djblets 7. Please see StaticMediaBuilder for build customization.

    Returns:

    A dictionary mapping variable names to values.

    Return type:

    dict

    __annotations__ = {}¶
    build_extension_cmdclass(build_static_files_cls: type[djblets.extensions.packaging.BuildStaticFiles]) → dict[str, type][source]¶

    Build a Setuptools cmdclass for building extensions.

    This is passed a subclass of BuildStaticFiles, and returns something that can be passed to setup().

    Deprecated since version 5.0: This has been moved to djblets.extensions.packaging. setuptools_backend.build_extension_cmdclass. The legacy import will be removed in Djblets 7.

    Parameters:

    build_static_files_cls (type) – The subclass of BuildStaticFiles.

    Returns:

    The resulting Setuptools command classes to use.

    Return type:

    dict
