Customize Directory Structure

You can customize the directory structure by calling the WithPath() function in the bootstrap/app.go file. For example, if you want to change the default app directory to src, you can modify the bootstrap/app.go file as follows:

func Boot() contractsfoundation.Application {
	return foundation.Setup().
		WithPaths(func(paths configuration.Paths) {
			paths.App("src")
		}).
		WithConfig(config.Boot).
		Create()
}

There are many other paths you can customize, such as Config, Database, Routes, Storage, and Resources. Just call the corresponding method on the paths object to set your desired directory.
