Getting Started with Flask: Static Resource Management and CDN Configuration

This article introduces static resource management and CDN configuration in Flask. Basics: Flask defaults to using the `static` folder as the static resource directory. In templates, `url_for('static', filename='path')` is used to dynamically generate resource URLs, avoiding hard-coded paths. Advanced: For complex projects, the `static_folder` parameter can customize the static directory, with the subdirectory reference method remaining unchanged. CDN Configuration: Replace local resources with CDN links (e.g., BootstrapCDN). Advantages include accelerated loading and reduced server pressure. Specify versions and retain local fallback plans. Best Practices: Dynamically generate URLs, customize directories for complex projects, use local resources in development and switch to CDN in production, prioritize CDN for important resources.
