These files are:

  • The app/ directory is a container for most of your project. This is where you’ll put any pages or API routes.
  • db/ is where your database configuration goes. If you’re writing models or checking migrations, this is where to go.
  • node_modules/ is where your “dependencies” are stored. This directory is updated by your package manager, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.
  • public/ is a directory where you will put any static assets. If you have images, files, or videos which you want to use in your app, this is where to put them.
  • test/ is a directory where you can put your unit and integration tests.
  • utils/ is a good place to put any shared utility files which you might use across different sections of your app.
  • .babelrc.js, .env, etc. (“dotfiles”) are configuration files for various bits of JavaScript tooling.
  • blitz.config.js is for advanced custom configuration of Blitz. It extends next.config.js.
  • jest.config.js contains config for Jest tests. You can customize it if needed.
  • package.json contains information about your dependencies and devDependencies. If you’re using a tool like npm or yarn, you won’t have to worry about this much.
  • tsconfig.json is our recommended setup for TypeScript.

You can read more about it in the File Structure section of the documentation.
