Usage

Describes how to use Manifesto when it is installed and configured.

Creating a manifest

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())

Access to the final cache-manifest

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">
