Answer 1

In your endpoint.ex file, you will have a section that looks something like

  plug Plug.Static,
    at: "/", from: :attendance_web, gzip: false,
    only: ~w(css fonts images js favicon.ico robots.txt)

You will need to add the ja directory to the list in the :only key. Then make sure your ja directory is beside your css directory.

Answer 2

I tried to put my assets (js, css, images) under the assets directory but the real place, it is in fact under the assets/static directory. Personally I think this is not a good place why? Because in assets directory we have directories like css, js directory.
