template

Add javascript-settings tag to your main template:

{% load javascript_settings_tags %}

Usage

Configuration is defined by adding javascript_settings function to urls.py of app. javascript_settings should take no arguments and return json-serializable object. Serialized object is then avaliable in Javascript as configuration['app_name'].

If you want to place javascript_settings in different location, then you can define JAVASCRIPT_SETTINGS_SCAN_MODULES as a dictionary of 'app_name': 'module_location'.

Example

Template:

{% load javascript_settings_tags %}
< script type="text/javascript" >{% javascript_settings %}< /script >

urls.py in an app:

def javascript_settings():
 js_conf = {
 'page_title': 'Home',
 'page_version': '1.9.20',
 'css': {
 'white': './css/white.css',
 'black': './css/black.css',
 'print': './css/print.css',
 },
 'default_css': 'white',
 }
 return js_conf

For example the app is named "home".

Result:

< script type="text/javascript" >var configuration = {'home': {'page_title': 'Home', 'page_version': '1.9.20', 'css': {'white': './css/white.css', 'black': './css/black.css', 'print': './css/print.css'}, 'default_css': 'white'}};< /script >
