or you can check the file in the xampp>htdocs>learnlaravel folder. here we will discuss one by one the contents of the folder in our laravel project.

  • APP folders

This APP folder is where we store our program code later, be it class, method or function

  • Bootstrap folder

The Bootstrap folder is Laravel’s default folder where Laravel will run the Bootstrapping process during the initial application process, I suggest not to change or delete the contents of this bootstrap folder.

  • Config folder

The config folder is our place to store our configuration files, for example application configuration, database configuration, system, logging, email and others.

  • Databases Folders

For those of you who use databases, Laravel supports database migrations, which means that if we want to create tables, we don’t need to manually anymore because we can use Laravel’s own database migrations.

  • Lang folder

Laravel supports internationalization which means we can create websites with multiple languages, in this lang folder we will create them.

  • Public Folders

The public folder is the first entry point or folder visited by the web server and then opens the index.php file in the public folder, in the index.php file it will run app.pp in the bootstrap folder as shown below

  • Resources folder

You can include resource files such as css, javascript or images / photos in this resources folder, in this resources folder is also where you put your templates (views), all files that you don’t want to be accessed by the public you can place in resources folder.

  • Routes folder

In laravel there is a name called routing, so all endpoint routing files will be placed here.

  • Storage Folders

We can store our files in this storage folder.

  • Tests folder

This folder is where we store our unit tests in making applications.

  • Vendors Folder

This vendor folder is default from composer, so all the libraries that we use in our project will be downloaded in this vendor folder.
