A Django beginner sometimes faces to setup templates and static directories in their project. Since different youtube tutorials and blogs set up these directories in different ways, confusion arises accordingly. Today, I will show you a very easy way to minimize zero-level confusion.
Templates Directory setup:
Templates directory/folder contains html files.
Step-1: create a directory named “templates” under your project
Step-2: Go to setting file and update the below line just writing templates in DIRS”: [ ]
TEMPLATES = [
{
. .. . . .
"DIRS": ['templates'],
. . . . .
],
},
},
]Static directory setup:
Static directory contains css, javascripts and images files.
Step-1: create a directory named “static” under your project
Step-2: Go to setting file and write the below lines at the end of the file
import os
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static')
]The directory structures will be as follows:
Myproject
—-Myapp
—-Myproject
—-templates
—-db.sqllites
—-manage.py
—-static
