Compiled assets not added to Django's staticfile manifest about django-assets HOT 3 CLOSED

Not being up to date with Django, this is the first time I hear about staticfiles.json.

I have two ideas:

• Whitenoise could support the webassets manifest file, in the same way that it supports Django's.
• django-assets, being perfectly aware that it's "build" step complements with "collectstatic", could add the files it generates to staticfiles.json.

from django-assets.

My vote is for django-assets being aware enough to add entries to staticfiles.json. Does the webassets builder return the output filenames for what it has compiled?

from django-assets.

I'm sure there is some way to get at the info. The right place would probably be an overwritten version of the "build" command.
