Using OptimizedCachedStaticFilesStorage fingerprinted files about django-require

[etianen]

Are you using RequireJS to dynamically load scripts or assets other than
the main.js script?

Typically, a monolithic single main.js script is used, which is loaded in
fingerprinted form via the {% require_module %} tag, and no further access
to fingerprinted files is necessary.

Otherwise, if you do need to use requirejs to load the fingerprinted files,
then you're going to need a paths config. Generating one via
OptimizedCachedStaticFilesStorage sounds ideal, although how this would be
integrated with the rest of the build is unclear.

I've successfully run collectstatic with STATICFILES_STORAGE set to
require.storage.OptimizedCachedStaticFilesStorage, but it's not clear to
me how I would tell requirejs to use the fingerprinted files.

Would I need to put each file (with its fingerprint) explicitly in my
config's paths? And if so, would it make sense to extend
OptimizedCachedStaticFilesStorage to do this?

Or is there another solution for this I don't know about?

@etianen Yes, I am currently using RequireJS to load scripts other than main.js. I'm not using a build profile right now--would that create the monolithic main.js that I would refer to? I'd definitely rather to that than hack that paths config.

Creating a build profile and defining at least one module would allow you
to concatenate all your JS into one huge file, avoiding the need to hack
the paths config.

If you set REQUIRE_BUILD_PROFILE to something sensible like "app.build.js",
then run ./manage.py require_init, you'll get a generated build profile
that'll get you started.

Thanks, I think that's got me heading in the right direction.
