This project follows the Next.js App Router structure. Here's an overview of the key directories and files:
components/: This folder contains reusable React components.- Component names should be capitalized, e.g.,
Header.tsx.
app/page.tsx: This is the home page of your application.- To create a new route, follow this structure:
- Create a new folder in the
appdirectory with the route name (e.g.,about). - Inside that folder, create a
page.tsxfile. - For example,
app/about/page.tsxwill be accessible at/about.
- Create a new folder in the
app/layout.tsx: This file contains the main layout structure and metadata for your application.
- The
appdirectory is the root of your application in the App Router structure. - Each
page.tsxfile automatically becomes a route. - The
layout.tsxfile can be used to create shared layouts for multiple pages.
For more detailed information about Next.js and the App Router, refer to the official Next.js documentation.
