The src/ directory is where all the source code for an application resides. The Athena Framework does not require following a strict file structure. As such, you have quite a bit of freedom in how to organize your application's files, taking both the size of the application and its specific purpose into consideration. The structure laid out here is a good starter that provides a location for the files related to various framework concepts. But it is not prescriptive, additional directories may be created as well for context specific features/concepts. Larger/more complex applications may wish to have dedicated directories related to specific features or domains of the application, with the default structured nested within each sub-directory.

The root of the src/ directory also contains the entrypoint files for the application. By default this includes:

• main.cr - Core code of the application common both both the HTTP and CLI contexts
• server.cr - Entrypoint for the HTTP part of the application. Requires main.cr and starts the server via ATH.run
• console.cr - Entrypoint for the CLI part of the application requiring main.cr and runs the CLI application

Similar to the directory structure, the entrypoints are not prescriptive. Feel free to add/remove/modify them to fit the needs of the application.
