This is our directory structure for a Next.js SPEED application. Let's break down each of the main directories and their likely purposes:

  1. __tests__: This directory typically contains test files for the application.

  2. public: This directory is where we store static assets that we want to make publicly accessible, such as images, fonts, and SVG files.

  3. src: This is the main source code directory of Next.js application.

    • app: It could contain the core logic or configuration for Next.js app, such as routing setup, context providers, or global state management.
    • components: This directory typically houses reusable React components that can be used across various parts of the application.
    • constants: We might place application-wide constants or configuration settings here.
    • layouts: If our application has different layout structures for various pages, we can define them here.
    • libs: We can place utility libraries or modules that oir application uses here.
    • pages: This directory is central to Next.js. It's where we define the pages components. Each file in this directory becomes a route inside the application.
    • styles: This directory could hold global CSS or styles that apply across the application.
    • types: TypeScript type definitions can be placed here to ensure type safety throughout the codebase.
    • utils: This directory might contain utility functions or modules that are used throughout the application.

This structure follows best practices for organizing a Next.js application, promoting modularity and maintainability. The separation of concerns into different directories makes it easier to work on different parts of the application and to write tests to the codebase.
