How to connect js script from html to Django static

I have new Django project with frontend, initially written not for Django at all, so I cannot connect this script:
<script>
document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).
src='js/main_script.js?r='+Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999999999999999);
</script>
The file js/main_script.js is located in static folder, other js scripts are loaded as intended. And as I understand this script prevents caching for some reason.
So, what am I missing in that part? Thanks in advance for any clarifications

@roganjosh i think it is hand made version of docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/staticfiles/…

@roganjosh, I've found it on stackoverflow, apparently used to prevent caching though i'm not an author

You should remove those +Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999999999999999) part and use proper solution for static files caching control
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#manifeststaticfilesstorage
UPD in response to comments below
Suppose we have
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/web/chick_static/'
STATIC_URL = '/chick-static/'
Then when we use static template tag Django transforms
from
<script src="% static 'js/main_script.js' %"></script>
to
<script src="/chick-static/js/main_script.js"></script>
Also Django will be looking for file in /var/web/chick_static/ directory.

but, at least for understanding, why without static-way of loading this script it works while opening .html file, but at Django doesn’t?
