Project Structure

There are 2 recommend ways of structuring your project:
1.In a mono-repo approach - all the files will be structured in a single directory.
2.In a multi-repo approach - the files will be structured in two distinct directories - a server and a client one.
This approach makes it easy to structure your project based on your team's needs.
Mono-repo approach
A possible structure for a mono-repo approach can be:
.
├── genezio.yaml
├── .genezioignore
├── server/
│   ├── .env
│   ├── models/
│   ├── node_modules/
│   ├── package.json
│   └── index.ts
└── client/
    ├── node_modules/
    ├── src/
    ├── build/
    └── package.json
Generally, genezio commands should be executed at path where genezio.yaml is present.
Hence, commands such as genezio deploy and genezio local will be executed in the project's directory. 
Genezio is implementing the concept of workspaces, so you can add in the genezio.yaml the paths to the corresponding server and client directories:
genezio.yaml
name: getting-started
region: us-east-1
language: ts
packageManager: npm
workspace:
  backend: ./server
  frontend: ./client
For more info on how to modify the genezio.yaml check YAML Configuration File.
Multi-repo approach
A possible structure for a multi-repo approach can be:
Server directory
.
└── server/
    ├── genezio.yaml
    ├── .genezioignore
    ├── .env
    ├── models/
    ├── node_modules/
    ├── package.json
    └── index.ts
Client directory
.
└── client/
    ├── genezio.yaml
    ├── .genezioignore
    ├── node_modules/
    ├── src/
    ├── build/
    └── package.json
In the server directory you can add the source code related to the backend. 
There you will create or modify the genezio.yaml configuration file. More details on the configuration options you can find in the YAML Configuration File. 
If you need to ignore certain files while testing locally your project, you can use .genezioignore.
In the client directory you can add the source code related to the frontend. Usually, you will find the SDK saved here because conceptually the client needs to know how to call the backend methods. You can change the location where the SDK is saved in genezio.yaml.
In genezio, a backend is composed of one or multiple classes. A class contains a set of methods. The methods can be called either directly or by using the SDK that is automatically generated on deployment and when using the local environment. There are three types of methods:
​JSON-RPC Methods​
​HTTP Methods​
​CRON Methods​

.genezioignore
