File-System Routing Basics
Understand the fundamental concepts of file-system based routing in Next.js and how to create basic pages and routes.
Intro to File-System Routing
Next.js routes by your file system — your folder and file layout directly defines your URLs. Files become pages, folders become URL segments.
The Core `app` Directory
Every route lives inside the special app directory — the root of your site's structure. Anything you put there shapes the routing.
