There should be a function like
`django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles.static` that is safe
to use outside of a template. When it cannot find a static file, it
should probably be configured to return a url pointing at a view that logs
the file is missing and returns a 404.
I just discovered that I took down an environment with one call to
`static` from `django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles`.
{{{
from django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles import static
class FooForm(ModelForm):
class Media:
js = (
static("foo.js"),
)
}}}
`foo.js` didn't get put in place.
So what is the correct way to reference a static file outside of a
template keeping something like
`django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage` in mind?
