<script src="{% mix 'build/app.js' 'polls/static' %}"></script>

The paths are related to webpack.mix.js configuration.

You can set path for manifest dir and public path also in Django settings

MANIFEST_DIRECTORY = getattr(settings, 'LARAVELMIX_MANIFEST_DIRECTORY','')
PUBLIC_URL = getattr(settings, 'LARAVELMIX_PUBLIC_URL', settings.STATIC_URL)

---

Example configration of webpack.mix.js:

let mix = require('laravel-mix');

let staticPath = 'polls/static/build'
let resourcesPath = 'polls/resources'

mix.setResourceRoot('/static/build') // setResroucesRoots add prefix to url() in scss on example: from /images/close.svg to /static/images/close.svg

mix.setPublicPath('polls/static') // Path where mix-manifest.json is created

// if you don't need browser-sync feature you can remove this lines
if (process.argv.includes('--browser-sync')) {
  mix.browserSync('localhost:8000')
}

// Now you can use full mix api
mix.js(`${resourcesPath}/js/app.js`, `${staticPath}/`)
mix.sass(`${resourcesPath}/sass/app.scss`, `${staticPath}/`)
