web-fragments 2.1.0

Web fragments

Overview

The web fragments library provides a Python and Django implementation for managing fragments of web pages. In particular, this library refactors the fragment code from XBlock into a standalone implementation.

A Django view subclass called FragmentView is provided which supports three different ways of rendering a fragment into a page:

• the fragment can be rendered as a standalone page at its own URL

• the fragment can be rendered into another page directly from Django

• the fragment can be returned as JSON so that it can be rendered client-side

The rationale behind this design can be found in OEP-12.

The intention is that a client-side implementation will be provided in a subsequent version. This should provide JavaScript code to request fragements over AJAX and then dynamically update the current page. This logic will be a refactoring of the current implementation in edx-platform for rendering XBlocks. It is also intended that this functionality will enhance the capabilities around dependency loading.
