Reactjs – Where is the app directory and layout file in NextJS 13.3.4?

So, I’m new to nextJS. I installed the latest version (13.3.4) using npx create-next-app@latest and it works, serves on port 3000 etc.

Now I’m learning about an app directory that houses some layout.tsx and page.tsx files, but I cannot find them in the project files.

I have checked their documentation, even manually adding the app directory and the layout and page files, and made changes to them, but nothing changed.

What is happening?

Update:

This is the next.config.js file

    In order to do that, you have to run npx create-next-app project again. Then in the terminal, you’ll be asked to either have the app directory or not.

    create-next-app comes with some options, run the following command to see

    npx create-next-app@latest -h

    among all the available options, there is an --app option

    –app

    Initialize as an App Router project.

    so you can run with the --app option specified to make sure the app folder get created.

    npx create-next-app@latest --app
