Menu
New to Django, I want to use different css files for different pages - i.e. page1.css for page1.html, page2.css for page2.html. Is there a way to do this while still extending base.html?
In base.html
{% load staticfiles %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<title>{% block title %}Default Title{% endblock %}</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" />
<!-- css -->
if page1.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/page1.css" %}">
if page2.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/page2.css" %}">
if page3.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/page3.css" %}">
</head>
<body class="{% block body_class %}{% endblock %}">
{% block content %}{% endblock%}
</body>
</html>
In page1.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block body_class %}page1{% endblock %}
{% block title %}Page1{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
Page 1
{% endblock content %}

You can use the same concept that applies to {% block content %} in that you can fill it in or extend it on a page by page basis.
Hence, in base.html, create a block called styles in the head section (or anywhere you want to load your CSS):
{% block styles %}
{% endblock %}
Now, you can extend this block on a per page basis in any of your templates that use base.html:
Example: page1/template-view.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block styles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/page1.css' %}">
{% endblock %}
