appends static files sha1 checksum as a get param for versioning

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-django-static-hash-append --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-django-static-hash-append');

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named django_static_hash to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  django_static_hash: {
    options: {
        // task options
    },
    django_app1: {
        files: [{
            expand: true,
            cwd: 'django_app/templates/django_app/', //path to your html files
            src: '*.html'
        }]
    },
    django_app2: {
        files: [{
            expand: true,
            cwd: 'django_app2/templates/django_app2/', //path to your html files
            src: '*.html'
        }]
    }
  },
});

Type: staticDirs Default value: ['main/static/']

A list of static files directories.

Type: String Default value: /static/

base url for static files only used if options.withTagOnly = false

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Type: Boolean Default value: false

output verbose detail of updated or not changed lines

This example processes all template files of main app, finds all <script> and tags including js or css files, computes hash of the js or css file appends it to static file url as a get param please notice that you should add a get param to the lines that you want to be updated for example this line wont get updated:

but this one will:

name of the get param doesnt matter but one and only one get param should be present

grunt.initConfig({
  django_static_hash_append: {
    main: {
        files: [{
            expand: true,
            cwd: 'main/templates/main/',
            src: '*.html'
        }]
    },
  },
});

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
