🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
│   └── favicon.svg
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   └── App.svelte
│   │   └── StepUpload.svelte
│   │   └── StepLoading.svelte
│   │   └── StepLoaded.svelte
│   ├── layouts/
│   │   └── Layout.astro
│   ├── pages/
│   │   └── index.astro
│   │   └── api/
│   │       └── ask.ts
│   │       └── upload.ts
│   ├── utils/
│   │   └── sse.ts
│   │
│   ├── env.d.ts
│   └── store.ts
└── package.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.

🧞 Commands
