Folder structure

Basic folder structure

A Glowie application is bundled with two main folders: app and vendor along with some server configuration files in the root folder.

You only need to point your server to this root directory and Glowie will do the rest for you.

Here you will understand what every folder means and how your application is structured.

App folder

The app folder has everything related to your application. The folders within this folder are:

commands Application CLI commands.

config Your application configuration and routing files.

controllers Application controllers.

languages Application internationalization files.

middlewares Application middlewares.

migrations Application database migrations.

models Application database models.

public Application public accessible folder. All your application assets and public frontend files must be stored here.

storage Application cache, logs and temporary files. This folder and its children must have writing permissions.

views All your application views, layouts and helpers.

Vendor folder

The vendor folder is generated by Composer and stores everything related to your application dependencies and Glowie core modules. We do not recommend editing anything in this folder, since files will be changed if you update Glowie or any dependencies from your application.
