When writing code, it can be inconvenient if IntelliJ fails to recognize JavaScript files. While this issue does not affect the actual execution of the application, it can lead to errors during coding, making it necessary to resolve.

Cause

Failure to Recognize Static Resources in IntelliJ

When importing JavaScript files into HTML in a Spring Boot project, there is a problem with IntelliJ not correctly locating the path to the JavaScript files. This is due to the resource directory settings in IntelliJ.

Solution
