Anything placed inside the static folder can be accessed by your front end code by simply going to /

For example, if the static folder set by you is named static and your JS file which you want to reference is /static/index.js, you need to write the script tag as <script src="/index.js"></script>.

You don't need to write the name of the static folder. By default, the / is going to look into the static folder.
