flask-multistatic

Author: Pierre-Yves Chibon <pingou@pingoured.fr>

This project is a simple flask plugin to add support for overriding static files.

Dependencies:

The dependency list is therefore:

Usage:

In your flask application:

import flask
from flask_multistatic import MultiStaticFlask

And replace the way you build you flask application from

APP = flask.Flask(__name__)

by

APP = MultiStaticFlask(__name__)

You can then specify multiple folder where static files are located, for example:

APP.static_folder = [
    os.path.join(APP.root_path, 'static', APP.config['THEME_FOLDER']),
    os.path.join(APP.root_path, 'static', 'default')
]

Note

The order of the folder is important, the last folder should be the one where most files are present, the other folders are where you override the static files. So in the example above, all the default static files are in /static/default/ and the files specific for one theme are under /static/<theme_name>/.
