A Django app that combines and minifies linked and inline JavaScript and CSS in templates into single cacheable static files. It supports compilers like LESS and SASS, extensible filters, and offline compression via a management command.

Use cases

• combine and minify css and javascript in django templates
• speed up django page load by bundling static assets
• precompile sass or less in a django project
• serve static files with far-future cache expiration
• run offline asset compression with manage.py compress

When to choose

• you use Django and want template-level asset bundling with minimal setup
• you need extensible minification with support for compilers like SASS, LESS, or Closure Compiler
• you want content-hashed filenames for safe long-term browser caching

When to avoid

• you are not using Django
• you use a modern frontend build pipeline like Webpack, Vite, or esbuild
• you need bundling for frameworks outside Django templates
