Describes how to use Manifesto when it is installed and configured.
To add a manifest in your application, you need to add a manifest module in it. Inside this module you can create any number of manifest as long as they inherit from Manifest class.
from manifesto import Manifest
class StaticManifest(Manifest):
def cache(self):
return [
'/static/js/application.js',
'/static/css/screen.css',
]
def network(self):
return ['*']
def fallback(self):
return [
('/', '/offline.html'),
]
Note
The meaning of each method is corresponding to each section of a cache-manifest, see Offline Web applications documentation for reference.
By default, a revision is calculated for each manifest, if you want to override the way we calculate revision, you just need to add a revision method to your manifest
import time
from manifesto import Manifest
class StaticManifest(Manifest):
def revision(self):
return int(time.time())
Manifesto provides a default ManifestView and urls to link to the final cache-manifest
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from manifesto.views import ManifestView
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^manifest\.appcache$', ManifestView.as_view(), name="cache_manifest"),
)
Then from your template, you can link to your cache-manifest
<!doctype html>
<html manifest="{% url cache_manifest %}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
