Store css data in django db

Question

Hi I have a scenario where user inputs css data in text box, I need to read it and apply it to a django view. I also need to store the css data for future modifications by user.

So my question is 1.should I store the css data in database or 2.in a static css file and store path to file in db?

Thanks.

store path will be easiser than storing th css. or you can pickle the css and store it db — sundar nataraj

@sundarnatarajСундар CSS is just text. You needn't pickle it. In fact there is nothing easier than storing CSS in DB. — Spc_555

There is absolutely no problem with storing CSS in DB. Just create a TextField in your model and put it there.

Then in your view's template output it in a <style type="text/css"> tag and that's all.
