django-gulp 2.4.1

Installation

Add "django_gulp" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this, making sure that it comes before django.contrib.staticfiles (or other apps that override runserver or collectstatic in the list if they’re listed):

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django_gulp',
    ...
)

Now when you run ./manage.py runserver or ./manage.py collectstatic your gulp tasks will run as well!

Settings

GULP_PRODUCTION_COMMAND defaults to gulp build --production. GULP_DEVELOP_COMMAND defaults to gulp.

Heroku

django-gulp works on Heroku! You’ll just need to use buildpack-multi and make sure your .buildpacks file looks like this:

https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git

To use buildback-multi set your configuration like so:

$ heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

Example output

$ ./manage.py runserver
>>> Starting gulp
>>> gulp process on pid 47863
