Using Node.js With Django

When writing django apps it's easy to ignore the organization of your front end code. Often, these backend coders will just write a static js and css file, stick it in the static directory, and call it a day.

You can also build them as two completely independent parts. With a complex gulp build routine independent of the django app. But if you don't know gulp, node, or those kinds of systems it can be a daunting process to get started with.

Enter django-compressor-toolkit (the name doesn't quite roll off the tongue).

Setting Up Django-Compressor-Toolkit

Using django-compressor and django-compressor-toolkit you can write Javascript ES6 code with all its fancy import/export logic or style your pages with sass instead of css, and leave your deploy routine largely untouched.
