Hello xuwenjing. Yes you can use the folder structure in your attached picture. However, note that you will need to make few changes to your settings.py file.
1) You have to use a 'path' that would point to the build directory in your frontend directory. You can find the code for that here: dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...
2) Next, under the templates and static files sections., you have to change the variable BASE_DIR to the new variable REAL_BASE_DIR created in 1 above.

BASE_DIRto the new variableREAL_BASE_DIRcreated in 1 above.Templates: 'DIRS': [os.path.join(REAL_BASE_DIR, 'frontend', 'build')]
Staticfiles: STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(REAL_BASE_DIR, 'frontend', 'build', 'static')]
This ensures that Django searches for templates and static files in your
frontendfolder which is outside the Django directoryThanks!
I followed the steps, but I only got a blank page: dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...
The message when running : dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...
Could you please have a look? Thanks for your help~
Hello xuwenjing,
The message displayed when running is okay. It shows that there is no issue with your code.
Regarding the blank page. Did you remember to run
npm run buildin your frontend directory?Can i see your frontend directory?
