Introduction:
django-webpacker is a django compressor tool which bundles css, js files to a single css, js file with webpack and updates your html files with respective css, js file path.

Source Code is available in Micropyramid Repository(https://github.com/MicroPyramid/django-webpacker).
Installation Procedure
Install django-web-packer using the following command:
pip install django-webpacker (or) git clone git://github.com/micropyramid/django-webpacker.git cd django-webpacker python setup.py install
Add app name in project settings.py file:
INSTALLED_APPS = [ '..................', 'django-webpacker', '..................' ]
Run npm init to intialize npm modules and it will create 'package.json' file which will contain package information. Update file with following dependencies:
"devDependencies": { "babel": "^6.23.0", "babel-core": "^6.24.0", "babel-loader": "^6.4.1", "css-loader": "^0.28.0", "extract-text-webpack-plugin": "^2.1.0", "file-loader": "^0.11.1", "html-webpack-inline-source-plugin": "0.0.7", "html-webpack-plugin": "^2.28.0", "image-webpack-loader": "^3.3.0", "less-loader": "^4.0.3", "node-sass": "^4.5.2", "react": "^15.4.2", "react-hot-loader": "^1.3.1", "sass-loader": "^6.0.3", "script-loader": "^0.7.0", "style-loader": "^0.16.1", "webpack": "^2.3.3", "webpack-bundle-tracker": "^0.2.0", "webpack-dev-server": "^2.4.2" }, "dependencies": { "imports-loader": "^0.7.1", "jquery": "^3.2.1" }

npm install
Updates Your html file with the following script, link stylesheet tags:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="" id="packer_css"/> <script id="packer_js" src="" type="text/javascript"></script>
Create webpack.config.js file with webpack.config.js file data. Update your project entry points with their respective paths. We can give multiple entry points(i.e separate entry point for each app) for the project. After compressing, separate css, file will be genarated with respective entry point name.
Add the following details in settings file about compressing css, js files:
WEB_PACK_FILES = [ {'html_file_name': {{ HTML_FILE_RELATIVE_PATH }}, 'webpack_js': {{ WEBPACK_ENTRY_POINT_KEY_NAME }}, }, {'html_file_name': {{ HTML_FILE_RELATIVE_PATH }}, 'webpack_js': {{ WEBPACK_ENTRY_POINT_KEY_NAME }}, }, {'html_file_name': {{ HTML_FILE_RELATIVE_PATH }}', 'webpack_js': {{ WEBPACK_ENTRY_POINT_KEY_NAME }}, }, ]
Run python manage.py compress_css_js_files to generate compressed css, js file. It will updates html file with respective compressed css, js files. Link, script tags will be loaded with compressed css, js files.
If you use django storages, then add the following variable to settings file to load compressed css, js files from s3:
# AWS details AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "Your AWS Access Key" AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "Your AWS Secret Key" AWS_BUCKET_NAME = "Your AWS Bucket Name" ENABLE_DJANGO_WEBPACK_AWS = True
We are always looking to help you customize the whole or part of the code as you like.
