Load static files for all templates in django

Question

Is there a way in django to not need the {% load static %} at the top of every template?

This question indicates you can factor out common load tags into se

Answer 1

The previous answer's method is deprecated as of Django 3.0. (see : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/#features-removed-in-3-0)

Now you'd need to add the following to your template settings:

'builtins': ['django.templatetags.static']

This is the updated templates setting:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
            'builtins': [
                'django.templatetags.static',
            ],
        },
    },
]
