Project Structure

A quick overview of the project structure and how to navigate it.

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 the tasks components to src/components/tasks.
  • src/lib: this folder contains the business logic of your application's domain. For example, we can add the tasks hooks to write and fetch data from Firestore in src/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.
