What does the next js src directory contain

The src directory is where you’ll typically store your application’s source code files. It is the heart of your application and is where you’ll write most of your application’s logic. The directory is usually located at the root of your project, alongside other top-level directories such as pages, public, components, and styles.

• pages: It contains all of our Next.js pages, such as the homepage and about page.
• utils: It contains all of our configuration files, such as our database connection settings.
• components: It directory contains all of our reusable React components, such as a header and footer component.
• styles: It contains all of our CSS files, organized by page or component.

The src project directory structure looks like this.

src/
├── components/
│   ├── Header.jsx
│   ├── Footer.jsx
│   └── ...
├── pages/
│   ├── index.jsx
│   ├── about.jsx
│   └── ...
├── styles/
│   ├── globals.css
│   ├── home.module.css

├── utils/

│   ├── constants.js
│   └── ...
├── config/

You can choose to have the project with a src directory on initialization or follow these steps for the same.

The Next JS src directory, short for source directory is the primary location for your application’s source code. It is an alternate project format that typically contains all the components, pages, styles, and other assets needed for your application to function. In a Next.js project, the src directory is where you will spend most of your time coding.
