Unable to put assets folder in flask application

Question

I'm developing a flask app. i have assets folder containing files, fonts, images and javascript where should I put them? i put index.html in templates. I have tried them putting in static folder but it didn't work.

I would suggest organizing your directory structure as such:

myapp/
    __init__.py
    static/
    templates/
    views/
    models.py
run.py

Then you can organize your static folder based on personal preference. For example, something such as:

static/
    css/
        lib/
            bootstrap.css
        style.css
        home.css
        admin.css
    js/
        lib/
            jquery.js
        home.js
        admin.js
    img/
        logo.svg
        favicon.ico

By default flask will look for static content in the static folder relative to where the application is initialized and started. For more info about static files check out this link

Hopefully that helps!
