This project is using Qwik with [QwikCity](https://qwik.builder.io/qwikcity/overview/). QwikCity is just an extra set of tools on top of Qwik to make it easier to build a full site, including directory-based routing, layouts, and more.
Inside your project, you'll see the following directory structure:
```
├── public/
│ └── ...
└── src/
├── components/
│ └── ...
└── routes/
└── ...
```
-`src/routes`: Provides the directory-based routing, which can include a hierarchy of `layout.tsx` layout files, and an `index.tsx` file as the page. Additionally, `index.ts` files are endpoints. Please see the [routing docs](https://qwik.builder.io/qwikcity/routing/overview/) for more info.
-`src/components`: Recommended directory for components.
-`public`: Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public directory. Please see the [Vite public directory](https://vitejs.dev/guide/assets.html#the-public-directory) for more info.
## Add Integrations and deployment
Use the `yarn qwik add` command to add additional integrations. Some examples of integrations includes: Cloudflare, Netlify or Express Server, and the [Static Site Generator (SSG)](https://qwik.builder.io/qwikcity/guides/static-site-generation/).
```shell
yarn qwik add # or `yarn qwik add`
```
## Development
Development mode uses [Vite's development server](https://vitejs.dev/). The `dev` command will server-side render (SSR) the output during development.
```shell
npm start # or `yarn start`
```
> Note: during dev mode, Vite may request a significant number of `.js` files. This does not represent a Qwik production build.
## Preview
The preview command will create a production build of the client modules, a production build of `src/entry.preview.tsx`, and run a local server. The preview server is only for convenience to preview a production build locally and should not be used as a production server.
```shell
yarn preview # or `yarn preview`
```
## Production
The production build will generate client and server modules by running both client and server build commands. The build command will use Typescript to run a type check on the source code.
This starter site is configured to deploy to [Vercel Edge Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions), which means it will be rendered at an edge location near to your users.
## Installation
The adaptor will add a new `vite.config.ts` within the `adapters/` directory, and a new entry file will be created, such as:
```
└── adapters/
└── vercel-edge/
└── vite.config.ts
└── src/
└── entry.vercel-edge.tsx
```
Additionally, within the `package.json`, the `build.server` script will be updated with the Vercel Edge build.
## Production build
To build the application for production, use the `build` command, this command will automatically run `npm run build.server` and `npm run build.client`:
```shell
npm run build
```

## Dev deploy
To deploy the application for development:
```shell
npm run deploy
```
Notice that you might need a [Vercel account](https://docs.Vercel.com/get-started/) in order to complete this step!
## Production deploy
The project is ready to be deployed to Vercel. However, you will need to create a git repository and push the code to it.
You can [deploy your site to Vercel](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/overview) either via a Git provider integration or through the Vercel CLI.
This starter site is configured to deploy to [Netlify Edge Functions](https://docs.netlify.com/edge-functions/overview/), which means it will be rendered at an edge location near to your users.
### Local development
The [Netlify CLI](https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/) can be used to preview a production build locally. To do so: First build your site, then to start a local server, run:
1. Install Netlify CLI globally `npm i -g netlify-cli`.
2. Build your site with both ssr and static `npm run build`.
3. Start a local server with `npm run serve`.
In this project, `npm run serve` uses the `netlify dev` command to spin up a server that can handle Netlify's Edge Functions locally.
4. Visit [http://localhost:8888/](http://localhost:8888/) to check out your site.
can be configured to run on specific URL patterns. Each edge function declaration associates
one site path pattern with one function to execute on requests that match the path. A single request can execute a chain of edge functions from a series of declarations. A single edge function can be associated with multiple paths across various declarations.
This is useful to determine if a page response should be Server-Side Rendered (SSR) or
if the response should use a static-site generated (SSG) `index.html` file instead.
By default, the Netlify Edge adaptor will generate a `.netlify/edge-middleware/manifest.json` file, which is used by the Netlify deployment to determine which paths should, and should not, use edge functions.
To override the generated manifest, you can [add a declaration](https://docs.netlify.com/edge-functions/declarations/#add-a-declaration) to the `netlify.toml` using the `[[edge_functions]]` config. For example:
```toml
[[edge_functions]]
path = "/admin"
function = "auth"
```
### Addition Adapter Options
Netlify-specific option fields that can be passed to the adapter options:
-`excludedPath` this option accepts a `string` glob pattern that represents which path pattern should not go through the generated Edge Functions.
### Deployments
You can [deploy your site to Netlify](https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/create-deploys/) either via a Git provider integration or through the Netlify CLI. This starter site includes a `netlify.toml` file to configure your build for deployment.
#### Deploying via Git
Once your site has been pushed to your Git provider, you can either link it [in the Netlify UI](https://app.netlify.com/start) or use the CLI. To link your site to a Git provider from the Netlify CLI, run the command:
```shell
netlify link
```
This sets up [continuous deployment](https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/create-deploys/#deploy-with-git) for your site's repo. Whenever you push new commits to your repo, Netlify starts the build process..
#### Deploying manually via the CLI
If you wish to deploy from the CLI rather than using Git, you can use the command:
```shell
netlify deploy --build
```
You must use the `--build` flag whenever you deploy. This ensures that the Edge Functions that this starter site relies on are generated and available when you deploy your site.
