Django call HttpResponse view in Javascript file

Question

I want to call a HttpResponse from a view in my main.js file, but I'm getting this error in the console //localhost:8000/%7B%%20url%20'join_dpt'%20%%7D 404 (Not Found), everything was fine when I had all in a same index.html file but now I don't want to have the scrips in the index.html so I moved it to a main.js file.

This is how I'm calling the HttpResponse (I was doing the same in the index.html file and it was fine)

d3.json("{% url 'join_dpt' %}")

this is how my folders order:

-- django
  -- env
  -- app
  -- project
    -- urls.py
  -- static
    -- css
    -- js
      -- main.js
  -- templates
    -- index.html

and I have this in my settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

#new
STATICFILES_DIRS =(
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static'), 
)

any ideas on how can I solve this?

You can't put django template variables into .js files. The script must be inline in the HTML template file.
