Directory Structure
When you create a Copper project using the Copper CLI, you'll get a directory structure similar to this -
cmd/
├─ app/
│ ├─ main.go
│ ├─ wire.go
pkg/
├─ app/
│ ├─ handler.go
│ ├─ router.go
│ ├─ wire.go
web/
All binaries are defined under the
cmd/ directory. By default, the app binary is present, and you are welcome to create more binaries here based on your project needs. If your project uses storage, there will be a migrate binary that runs database migrations.Your application code lives under the
pkg/ directory. It is mostly freeform but it is recommended to keep the directory structure as flat as possible. To create new packages, use the Copper CLI's copper scaffold:pkg <package> command.Depending on which template you chose to generate your project with, you may get a
web/ directory. This is where all HTML, CSS, and JS files go. The only Go file here is that enables the embedding of static data into the app binary - so you get a single binary to run your backend and frontend together.Last modified 1yr ago
