Getting Started

This section describes the technical part of the application generated by AppWizzy.

Understanding the Code Structure

The basic project structure of the generated full-stack app consists of the following:

Project Root:

  • backend: Root directory for the backend code.
    • src: Contains all source code files.
      • auth: Handles authentication logic (e.g., JWT handling, login, registration).
      • db: Defines database schema, API, seeders, migration, configs, and utils.
      • middlewares: Contains middleware functions for Express.js (check-permissions, upload.js).
      • routes: Defines the API routes/endpoints that interact with services.
      • services: Contains business logic and service functions that interact with the database. Database api functions are located in src/db/api folder. The services also contain code responsible for sending messages and downloading/uploading files.
      • config.js: Configuration settings for the backend (gcloud config, email settings, host, ports, etc.).
    • index.js: The entry point for the backend server, typically initializes the server and sets up middleware and routes.
    • Dockerfile: Defines the Docker image for the backend, specifying the environment setup, dependencies, and how to run the backend service.
    • package.json: Lists dependencies, scripts, and metadata for the project.
  • docker: Contains Docker-related configurations.
    • docker-compose.yml: Defines multi-container Docker applications, specifies how to run both frontend and backend services together, defines environment variables, including dependencies and networking.
  • frontend: Root directory for the frontend code.
    • public: Static files (e.g., images, fonts, favicon).
    • src: Contains all source code files.
      • components: Reusable React Widgets and components (e.g., ). A complete list of widgets and components can be found on the next page (Working with Widgets on the UI).
      • css: Base styles, Tailwind, custom CSS files.
      • helpers: Utility functions used across the application (dataFormatter, fileSaver, userPermissions)
      • hooks: Custom React hooks.
      • interfaces: TypeScript interfaces for MenuAside, MenuNavBarItem, ColorKey, ColorButtonKey, Client, User.
      • layouts: Layout components that define the structure of different pages (Guest, Authenticated).
      • pages: Page components corresponding to different routes in the application. That folder contains all generated pages and components based on the DB schema.
      • stores: State management files using Redux
