A filter to integrate Google Closure compiler in django-compress plugin.

  1. download django-compress
  2. install it
  3. download Closure Compiler
  4. put the jar at the root of your project
  5. put this snippet as a init.py file in a google_closure directory in the filters directory of the plugin
  6. add COMPRESS_JS_FILTERS = ('compress.filters.google_closure.GoogleClosureCompilerFilter',) to your settings.py

You can test COMPRESS_CLOSURE_JS_ARGUMENTS = {'compilation_level': 'ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS', } in your settings.py too

I added this code to: Google Closure Compiler now for django: https://github.com/macmichael01/django-gcc with some modifications. I have also enabled API requests so that you don't need jar file. I made note of the author in the authors file.
