The Nuxt application structure is intended to provide a great starting point for both small and large applications. You are free to organize your application however you like and can create them as and when you need.
The`pages/`directory contains your application's views and routes. If it exists, Nuxt reads all the`.vue`files inside this directory and uses them to create the application router ([learn more](/app/pages)).
The`static/`directory is directly served at server root and contains public files that have to keep their names (e.g. `robots.txt`) _or_ likely won't change (e.g. `favicon.ico`).
The`nuxt.config` (`js` or `ts`)file is the single point of configuration for Nuxt. If you want to add modules or override default settings, this is the place to apply the changes.
### The `package.json` file
The`package.json`file contains all the dependencies and scripts for your application.
### The `yarn.lock` or `package.lock.json` file
This file is automatically generated and keeps exactly installed version of packages. So that next time you or another one wants to try project, will install same versions.
### The `.nuxt` directory
This is the directory used by nuxt to put temporary build files.
### The `.output` directory
When using `nuxt build`, this directory will be created and is meant to be deployed to production server.
