# CLI App Structure
**Deprecated**
The Wix CLI for Apps is deprecated and no longer receives updates or new features. New projects should use the unified [Wix CLI](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/guides/about-the-wix-cli.md). [Determine which CLI your project uses](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/guides/development/determine-which-cli-your-project-uses.md).
A Wix CLI App has the following file structure:
```tsx
.
└── /
├── .wix/
├── dist/
├── node_modules/
├── src/
│ ├── dashboard/
│ ├── site/
│ ├── backend/
│ ├── assets/
│ └── env.t.ds
├── .gitignore
├── .nvmrc
├── package.json
├── README.md
├── tsconfig.json
└── wix.config.json
```
> **Note:** Some of these files and directories will not exist when you initially create your app. They are created when you [build your app](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/app-development/build-and-deploy-an-app-with-the-cli.md).
## .wix/
Contains configuration and log files related to the Wix environment.
__Caution:__
This directory contains internal data. Don't edit it.
## dist/
Contains a distributable version of the app. This directory and its contents are created automatically from your local project files when you [build your app](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/app-development/build-and-deploy-an-app-with-the-cli.md).
Don't edit the files in this directory.
## src/
Source directory. It contains all the source code and core resources of your application.
### dashboard/
Contains subdirectories for each of your app's dashboard extensions.
For more information, see [About CLI App Extensions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/supported-extensions/about-cli-app-extensions.md)
### site/
Contains subdirectories for each of your app's site extensions.
For more information, see [About CLI App Extensions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/supported-extensions/about-cli-app-extensions.md)
### backend/
Contains subdirectories for each of your app's backend extensions.
For more information, see [About CLI App Extensions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/supported-extensions/about-cli-app-extensions.md)
### assets/
A directory for storing static assets such as images and media files.
During the `build` process, the contents of this directory are renamed and copied to the `dist` directory.
To reference files from this directory in `.json` configuration files, use relative paths. For example, `{ "myImagePath": "../../assets/my-image.svg" }`.
Likewise, to import files from this directory into your source code, use relative paths. For example, `import myImage from "../../assets/my-image.svg";`.
#### env.t.ds
TypeScript declaration file for environment variables.
Don't edit this file.
#### .nvmrc
Contains the version of Node.js that this project uses. Use the `nvm use` command to switch to this defined version using Node Version Manager (NVM).
#### package.json
Holds various metadata relevant to the project. It manages the project's dependencies, scripts, and more.
#### tsconfig.json
Configuration for the TypeScript compiler.
#### wix.config.json
Defines basic information about your app, including `appId` and `projectId`. The `appId` is the same as your app ID in your [app's dashboard](https://manage.wix.com/app-selector?title=Select+an+App&primaryButtonText=Select+Site&actionUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.wix.com%2Fapps%2F%7BappId%7D%2Fhome), as shown here:
