Django: static folder for template's assets - django

Question

I'm learning Django 2.0
I have a ready-made template, that contains all assets in assets folder.All references in template starts from assets/..., and I'm gonna keep it: all links should looks like {% static 'assets/...' %}
My Django app has following structure:
myapp
├───manage.py
└───mysite
└───static/mysite/static/assets # some mess here?
└───templates/mysite/index.html
Inside index.html I'm using {% load static %},In settings I have just
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
but framework can't find path to assets. What I'm doing wrong?
UPD
{% load static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'assets/css/bootstrap.min.css' %}">

Answer 1

If you want to use static file like.
CSS
JavaScript
Images
On Templates Use
{℅ load staticfiles %}

Answer 2

└───static/mysite/static/assets - You should to change this,**like bellow**
myapp
└───Assets
├───manage.py
└───mysite
└───mysite # your project files
└───templates/index.html
and also :
in your setting.py like this :
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets'),
]
and also : you need to change setting.py file 'DIRS': ['templates'],
or 'DIRS': ['myapp/templates']
