These files are:
-
The
app/folder 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. -
public/is a folder 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. -
integrations/is a folder to put all third-party integrations like with Stripe, Sentry, etc. -
test/is a folder where you can put test utilities and integration tests. -
package.jsoncontains information about your dependencies and devDependencies. If you’re using a tool likenpmoryarn, you won’t have to worry about this much. -
tsconfig.jsonis our recommended setup for TypeScript. -
.babelrc.js,.env, etc. ("dotfiles") are configuration files for various bits of JavaScript tooling. -
blitz.config.jsis for advanced custom configuration of Blitz. It extendsnext.config.js. -

You can read more about it in the File Structure section of the documentation.
Blitz comes with a set of tools that corrects and formats your code, facilitating its future maintenance. You can modify their options and even uninstall them.
- ESLint: It lints your code: searches for bad practices and tell you about it. You can customize it via the
.eslintrc.js, and you can install (or even write) plugins to have it the way you like it. It already comes with theblitzconfig, but you can remove it safely. Learn More. - Husky: It adds githooks, little pieces of code that get executed when certain Git events are triggerd. For example,
pre-commitis triggered just before a commit is created. You can see the current hooks inside.husky/. If are having problems commiting and pushing, check out ther troubleshooting guide. Learn More. - Prettier: It formats your code to look the same everywhere. You can configure it via the
.prettierrcfile. The.prettierignorecontains the files that should be ignored by Prettier; useful when you have large files or when you want to keep a custom formatting. Learn More.
