Project folders

[mitorun-studio]

I'm exploring Nue 2.0, and it's been a great, great effort 👍. This update inspired me to choose Nue as my primary (and only?) tool for creating static websites.

One of the challenges I encountered was the unclear way to organize folders and files in a project. The page files are organized simply, but the rest leave some questions.

I was happy with the way it was in Nue 1.0 — a /@global folder with site-wide files and a /@library folder with files that needed to be include. I could put any files (base.css, button.css, layout.html, team.yaml, uikit.js) in these folders. If the project is large, you can create subfolders, such as /@library/css.

And other file folders should be copied without processing: /img for raster images, /svg for vector graphics, /fls for files (e.g., inter.woff2, video.webp, sound.aac, file.pdf).

I prefer to have all files of the same type stored in one folder.

It's not much different in 2.0:

@shared/data for globally available data
@shared/design for global design
@shared/ui for global components and assets (auto-included)

And include directive works accross all directories: the recommendation, however, is @shared/lib. The shared dirs can be structured however you wish.
