# Project Structure
WXT follows a strict project structure. By default, it's a flat folder structure that looks like this:
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```html
📂 {rootDir}/
📁 .output/
📁 .wxt/
📁 assets/
📁 components/
📁 composables/
📁 entrypoints/
📁 hooks/
📁 modules/
📁 public/
📁 utils/
📄 .env
📄 .env.publish
📄 app.config.ts
📄 package.json
📄 tsconfig.json
📄 web-ext.config.ts
📄 wxt.config.ts
```
Here's a brief summary of each of these files and directories:
- `.output/`: All build artifacts will go here
- `.wxt/`: Generated by WXT, it contains TS config
- `assets/`: Contains all CSS, images, and other assets that should be processed by WXT
- `components/`: Auto-imported by default, contains UI components
- `composables/`: Auto-imported by default, contains source code for your project's composable functions for Vue
- `entrypoints/`: Contains all the entrypoints that get bundled into your extension
- `hooks/`: Auto-imported by default, contains source code for your project's hooks for React and Solid
- `modules/`: Contains [local WXT Modules](/guide/essentials/wxt-modules) for your project
- `public/`: Contains any files you want to copy into the output folder as-is, without being processed by WXT
- `utils/`: Auto-imported by default, contains generic utilities used throughout your project
- `.env`: Contains [Environment Variables](/guide/essentials/config/environment-variables)
- `.env.publish`: Contains Environment Variables for [publishing](/guide/essentials/publishing)
- `app.config.ts`: Contains [Runtime Config](/guide/essentials/config/runtime)
- `package.json`: The standard file used by your package manager
- `tsconfig.json`: Config telling TypeScript how to behave
- `web-ext.config.ts`: Configure [Browser Startup](/guide/essentials/config/browser-startup)
- `wxt.config.ts`: The main config file for WXT projects
## Adding a `src/` Directory
Many developers like having a `src/` directory to separate source code from configuration files. You can enable it inside the `wxt.config.ts` file:
```ts [wxt.config.ts]
export default defineConfig({
srcDir: 'src',
});
```
After enabling it, your project structure should look like this:
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```html
📂 {rootDir}/
📁 .output/
📁 .wxt/
📁 modules/
📁 public/
📂 src/
📁 assets/
📁 components/
📁 composables/
📁 entrypoints/
📁 hooks/
📁 utils/
📄 app.config.ts
📄 .env
📄 .env.publish
📄 package.json
📄 tsconfig.json
📄 web-ext.config.ts
📄 wxt.config.ts
```
## Customizing Other Directories
You can configure the following directories:
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```ts [wxt.config.ts]
export default defineConfig({
// Relative to project root
srcDir: "src", // default: "."
modulesDir: "wxt-modules", // default: "modules"
outDir: "dist", // default: ".output"
publicDir: "static", // default: "public"
// Relative to srcDir
entrypointsDir: "entries", // default: "entrypoints"
})
```
You can use absolute or relative paths.
