# 📋 Summary: Django Package Workflow

## The Key Point

**JavaScript/CSS files have ONE source location:**
- ✅ Source: `bindings/javascript/picker.js` 
- ✅ Source: `bindings/javascript/picker.css`
- ❌ Copy: `bindings/django/npdt/static/.../picker.min.js`
- ❌ Copy: `bindings/django/npdt/static/.../picker.css`

## Your Workflow

### When You Update JavaScript/CSS:

```bash
# 1. Edit the source files
vim bindings/javascript/picker.js
vim bindings/javascript/picker.css

# 2. Sync to Django package
cd bindings/django
python3 build_assets.py

# 3. Test (if in development mode)
# Changes are automatically reflected

# 4. Commit (if satisfied)
git add bindings/javascript/picker.js
git add bindings/django/npdt/static/...
git commit -m "Update date picker"
```

### What `build_assets.py` Does:

```python
# Copies these files:
../javascript/picker.js    → static/.../js/picker.min.js
../javascript/picker.css   → static/.../css/picker.css
../javascript/pkg/*             → static/.../js/pkg/*
```

## Why This Approach?

✅ **Single source of truth** - No confusion about which file to edit
✅ **Automatic sync** - Script handles copying
✅ **Version control** - Both locations tracked
✅ **Clear workflow** - Edit source, run script, test

## Quick Reference

| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Update JavaScript | Edit `bindings/javascript/picker.js` |
| Update CSS | Edit `bindings/javascript/picker.css` |
| Sync to Django | `python3 build_assets.py` |
| Install for dev | `pip install -e .` |
| Build package | `python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel` |
| Publish | `twine upload dist/*` |

## Files Created

1. **Build Scripts:**
   - [build_assets.py](file:///media/amrit/SSDAmrit/Builds/Packages/npdatetime-rust/bindings/django/build_assets.py) - Python version (cross-platform)
   - [build_assets.sh](file:///media/amrit/SSDAmrit/Builds/Packages/npdatetime-rust/bindings/django/build_assets.sh) - Bash version

2. **Documentation:**
