Understanding the Structure
Let's decode what Next.js created!
Today's Lesson
Every file in a Next.js project has a purpose. Understanding the structure helps you know where to make changes. You don't need to memorize everything - just know where to look.
Today's Tasks
- 1Ask Claude Code to explain each file/folder in your project
- 2Identify: Where pages live, where styles go, where config is
- 3Create a simple map/diagram of the structure
Prompt to Use
Explain the folder structure of this Next.js project. What is each file and folder for? Which ones will I edit most often? Create a simple text diagram showing the structure with explanations.
Expected Outcome
Understanding of Next.js project structure.
New Terms
- app/
- page.tsx
- layout.tsx
- package.json
Pro Tip
You don't need to understand everything. Focus on `app/` - that's where your pages live.
Coming Tomorrow
We'll build our first component.
P.S. Every expert was once confused by folder structures. It gets clearer with practice.
