Serve public files in django

I am using Django with React. And I want to serve react public files from Django.

but django static files are served with a prefix url, like this

/static/favicon.ico
/static/manifest.json

but I want to serve files like this, without any prefix.

/favicon.ico
/manifest.json
/serviceworker.js

So how do I do it? please help

I searched a lot about this and eventually found this as the best and efficient way

app/urls.py

import os
from django.urls import path
from django.conf import settings
from public import views

urlpatterns = []

SERVE_DIR = os.path.join(str(settings.BASE_DIR), "folder_path")
if os.path.exists(SERVE_DIR):
    files = os.listdir(SERVE_DIR)
    for f in files:
        urlpatterns += [path(f, views.public)]

app/views.py

import os
from django.conf import settings
from django.views.static import serve

def public(request, public_url):
    public_folder = os.path.join(str(settings.BASE_DIR), "folder_path")
    return serve(request, public_url, document_root=public_folder)

Refer to Static Files

Changing STATIC_URL from '/static/' to '/' should work.
