It lets you define bundles of static files, apply filters (minification, compilation), and output optimized versions\u2014reducing the number of HTTP requests and file sizes in production.\n\nThe package is straightforward: you create an Environment tied to your Flask app, define Bundles with source files and filters, and register them. It integrates cleanly with Flask's static file system. However, maintenance is dormant (last commit 2023-12-15), so it receives no active development; use it if your asset needs are stable and you don't require ongoing support.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your Flask project has simple, stable asset needs and you are comfortable with dormant maintenance. The package is lightweight, permissive-licensed, and has no known vulnerabilities. If you require active support, modern tooling integration, or complex asset pipelines, consider a standalone build tool instead."},"id":"flask-assets","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-assets","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-assets.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-assets/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-10-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-Assets","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Asset management for Flask, to compress and merge CSS and Javascript files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":188829,"position":9937,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
