Application : Directory Structure

Locomotive favors convention over configuration. One of these conventions is a well defined directory structure, making it easy to locate files in an application.

app/controllers

Contains the controllers that handle requests sent to an application.

app/models

Contains the models for accessing and storing data in a database.

app/views

Contains the views and layouts that are rendered by an application.

config

Configuration for the application, including routes, databases, etc.

config/environments

Environment-specific configuration. For example, development and production are two environments that require different settings.

config/initializers

Initialization code that is executed before the applications starts.

public

Static files and compiled assets served by the application.
