Django Template Tags - Static Files Loading

{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
</head>
<body>
    <img src="{% static 'images/logo.png' %}" alt="Logo">
</body>
</html>

  1. The `{% load static %}` tag must be declared at the very top of the HTML document before any other content.

  2. The `{% static %}` tag automatically generates the correct URL path based on Django's STATIC_URL setting.

  3. Static files can be loaded directly using HTML `<link>` and `<img>` tags without using Django's `{% static %}` tag.

  4. The `{% load static %}` tag is only required for CSS files and not for image files.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

The `{% static %}` tag automatically generates the correct URL path based on Django's STATIC_URL setting.

Explanation

The `{% load static %}` tag loads Django's static file template tags. The `{% static %}` tag generates the correct URL for static files, respecting the STATIC_URL setting and storage backend. This approach ensures proper handling of static files in different environments (development, production, CDN).
