Django new version 3.1, the settings file have some changes

On Django new version 3.1, the settings file have some changes, and I came to ask how I have to proceed to set my static files? The way that I usually did doesn't work more.

Last versions:

import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

Version 3.1:

from pathlib import Path
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve(strict=True).parent.parent

I usually set my static files like this:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_root')
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media_root')

If I insert the import os will work, but is it the right practice? What is the best practice to set this? Thank you?

STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR.parent / "static_cdn"

try this if you want to add your STATIC_ROOT inside environment directory

This change makes it a lot easier for you to define your STATIC and MEDIA variables. You don't even need to import os for this purpose and all you need is to add following codes to your settings.py:

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve(strict=True).parent.parent # which shows the root directory of your project

STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'static' # is equal to os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media' # is equal to os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
