Django static directory name is set to static by default. Can it be changed to something else?. If i could change it to cssandjs could this bring any errors to my project? and does that also mean that in templates i would load static by {% load cssandjs %} instead of {% load static %}?
the statics files con also be loded from more than one directory, this can be defined by this setting, this is where django search your files inside your server
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
BASE_DIR / "static",
'/var/www/static/',
'/some_folder/cssandjs',
]
thats why you put the files inside apps folder, to avoid overlapping
the url is defined by this setting, this is what you see on the web browser
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
in your template you always use {% load static %}, and django search in all your folders
