Django - How to use a static file in an other static file

I am trying to refer to a static file in an other static file but I can't figure out how to do it.

I have a javascript file that I include into the html page this way: {% static 'myJavascript.js' %}

Then, in myJavascript.js I need to refer an other static file (a .json file ) but it wont works when I use {% static 'myJson.json' %}.

Any one have an idea? Thanks in advance

Static files are static, which means they are not interpreted by Django, so cannot use tags in them.

However, you can refer to a static file from any other static file using relative paths assuming that the file is accessible.

There are a lot of topics on SO referring to how to include one javascript file from another one, for example: How do I include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file?

Use a normal absolute/relative path to refer to files inside *.js files.

Static files are only served, not rendered by Django, therefore you can't use template tags inside of them.
