Hello again,
I could use some help on loading static files in development mode.
Specifically, I'd like to tell Django to serve additional files that are
not explicitly loaded in the html with {% load static %}. My issue is
actually identical to this post
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/django-users/js$20files%7Csort:date/django-users/FEO0gy37dRw/WeU8GdK4DAAJ>,
where I could use some extra explanation on their suggested fix. To restate
the issue, I load a static javascript file within my myapp/index.html:
{% load static %}
<script src="{% static 'myapp/myscript_1.js' %}"></script>
The javascript file (myscript_1.js) references another javascript file
(myscript_2.js) as well as some other media (e.g. a number of *.png, *.css,
*.json files). However, Django doesn't serve these files because they are
not directly loaded in the html, and a 404 error is thrown when trying to
find myscript_2.js - along with the other files. How do I get Django to
serve these files as well?
It looks like Django is searching for the files
at http://127.0.0.1:8000/myapp/myscript_2.js. Could I forward this path to
http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/myapp/myscript_2.js? I'm trying to do this
with the following in my urls.py (in projects urls.py - not the myapp
urls.py):
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns += static(path=settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.
STATIC_ROOT)
and in my settings.py:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = /static/
This isn't working for me though, and I think I'm using the static()
function incorrectly. Could someone offer some guidance on how to set this
up for development testing?
Thanks in advance,
Jack
