Storages

Using with a custom storage

Pipeline uses Django Storage to read, save and delete files, by default it use an improved StaticFilesStorage.

You can provide your own via PIPELINE_STORAGE :

PIPELINE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'

Using with staticfiles

Pipeline is providing a storage for staticfiles app, to use it configure STATICFILES_STORAGE like so

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineStorage'

And if you want versioning use

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineCachedStorage'

There is also non-packing storage available, that allows you to run collectstatic command without packaging your assets. Useful for production when you don’t want to run compressor or compilers

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.NonPackagingPipelineStorage'

Also available if you want versioning

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.NonPackagingPipelineCachedStorage'

Pipeline is also providing a storage that play nicely with staticfiles app particularly for development :

PIPELINE_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineFinderStorage'

Using with other storages

You can also use your own custom storage, for example, if you want to use S3 for your assets :

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'your.app.S3PipelineStorage'

Your storage only need to inherit from PipelineMixin and/or CachedFilesMixin :

from staticfiles.storage import CachedFilesMixin

from pipeline.storage import PipelineMixin

from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage


class S3PipelineStorage(PipelineMixin, CachedFilesMixin, S3BotoStorage):
     pass
