Specifying Project Structures
Building out projects structures using AI
Project strcutures are the files and folders that make up your application. The importance of your model knowing your project structure, gives your responses context that ensure prompts from any of the knowledge areas align to the project structure you are working with.
Once you have your language and libraries established, you will want to define your project structure and store it as a prompt store.
In the context of a Next.js application, there are a few common project structures that you can use, depending on your needs. One common structure is to organize your application by feature, with each feature having its own folder. Within each feature folder, you can have sub-folders for components, pages, and utilities. Here's an example:
In this structure, the components folder contains reusable components that can be used across features. The features folder contains the main functionality of the application, with each feature having its own folder. Each feature folder has a components folder for feature-specific components, a pages folder for feature-specific pages, and a utils folder for feature-specific utility functions.
The pages folder contains the top-level pages of the application, such as the homepage and any other static pages. The _app.js file is used to initialize the application and can be used to set up things like global styles or state providers.
The public folder contains any static assets that should be served directly by the server, such as images or favicon.ico.
The utils folder contains utility functions that can be used across features.
The .env.local file contains environment variables that are specific to the local development environment.
The next.config.js file is used to configure Next.js, such as setting up webpack or configuring plugins.
Here's an example of how you could structure your markdown prompt store based on this project structure:
This way, when your model receives a prompt that references a component or utility function, it can look for it in the appropriate folder based on the project structure.
