When inspecting the project structure, you will find something similar to the below:
tasks-app
├── README.md
├── @types
├── src
│ ├── components
│ ├── core
│ ├── lib
│ └── pages
└── _document.tsx
└── _app.tsx
│ └── index.tsx
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
├── public
│ └── favicon.ico
├── next.config.mjs
└── tsconfig.json
NB: we omitted a lot of the files for simplicity.
Let's take a deeper look at the structure we see above:
src/core
: this folder contains reusable building blocks of the template that are not related to any domain. This includes components, React hooks, functions, and so on.src/components
: this folder contains the application's components, including those that belong to your application's domain. For example, we can add thetasks
components tosrc/components/tasks
.src/lib
: this folder contains the business logic of your application's domain. For example, we can add thetasks
hooks to write and fetch data from Firestore insrc/lib/tasks
.src/pages
: this is Next.js's special folder where we add our application routes.
Don't worry if this isn't clear yet! We'll explain where we place our files in the sections ahead.
