How Do We Serve Static Files?

To serve static files in a Flask application, a dedicated directory named "static/" is created at the project root to store assets like CSS stylesheets, images, and JavaScript files. These files are delivered to the client without server-side processing. The `url_for()` function is utilized to dynamically generate URLs for these static assets, ensuring that paths adapt to the server configuration and deployment context. By linking these assets in HTML templates using Jinja syntax, the application maintains a clean separation of concerns, allowing visual modifications without altering backend code.
