jinja2 link to static files

问题

I am trying to understand how to create a link to static files in jinja2.

Everything I look up relates to Flask whereas I am using just webapp2 at this stage.

My main.py file looks as follows:

import os
import urllib

from google.appengine.api import users
from google.appengine.ext import ndb

import jinja2
import webapp2

JINJA_ENVIRONMENT = jinja2.Environment(
    loader=jinja2.FileSystemLoader(os.path.dirname(__file__)),
    extensions=['jinja2.ext.autoescape'],
    autoescape=True)

class MainPage(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self): 
    template = JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.get_template('/templates/base.html')  
    self.response.out.write(template.render())

class ConsultsPage(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
    template = JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.get_template('/templates/consults.html')  
    self.response.out.write(template.render())

class CreateConsultPage(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
    template = JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.get_template('/templates/create-consult.html')  
    self.response.out.write(template.render())

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([
    ('/', MainPage),
    ('/consults', ConsultsPage),
    ('/schedule/create-consult', CreateConsultPage)
], debug=True)

My base.html template contains the links to the static files in "/css", "/js" "/images" etc.

When I look at the localhost:8080/ and localhost:8080/consults all the static files are working. Page looks fine.

However the next level in the structure localhost:8080/consults/create-consult is not linking to static files.

When I view source I see that the css link has rendered as localhost:8080/consults/css/style.css , when the actual location is localhost:8080/css/style.css.

I understand I may need to make all links dynamic via some environment variable called uri_for, but I can't find the correct way to implement this.

I tried to replace my css link with

href="{{ uri_for('static', filename='css/screen.css') }}"

I was told by App Engine uri_for not set.

Basically would like to know the correct process for setting uri_for and then how to incorporate it in the paths for my links to static files.

Any help appreciated.

回答1:

uri_for() is a Flask-specific function; it matches the name static to a route, which in turn then can be used to generate a path (like /static/css/screen.css if the static route is configured to handle /static/<path:filename> urls).

You just need to hardcode the path as /css/screen.css, no need for functions.

Note the leading /; that makes it an absolute path, relative to your current host. For a page at http://localhost:8080/foo/bar, such a path is then prefixed with http://localhost:8080 to form http://localhost:8080/css/screen.css. When you deploy to the app engine, the hostname will be different.

You could store a prefix URL or path in a global, so you can easily swap out the path for a CDN later:

JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.globals['STATIC_PREFIX'] = '/'

and use that in your templates:

<style src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}css/screen.css"></style>

You can now alter all such URLs in one place, by setting the STATIC_PREFIX to a different value, including http://somecdn.cdnprovider.tld/prefix/.
