### Some additional notices about files and directories

[](#some-additional-notices-about-files-and-directories)

- [`.env`](./.env): In this file you can predefine environment variables for application in format `KEY="SOME VALUE"` *(per one key-value pair in string)*
- [`app/themes`](./app/themes): In this directory you can place your application's themes *(assets, views, layouts, …)*For example, I *recommend* following structure:
    - `app/themes/admin/assets`: put in this direcory all required assets for your application, like js, css, etc…
    - Add your own asset-bundle:
        1. Create file `app/themes/admin/AssetBundle.php`. That class-file extends a `yii\web\AssetBundle`
        2. In this class you should define a `$sourcePath = '@app/themes/admin/assets'`
        3. Define a your theme-specific `$js` and `$css` properties
        4. Then you can register your asset-bundle in view/layout, like ``. When your asset-bundle registers in a view, application will **automatically** publish contents of `app/themes/admin/assets`-directory in public `@webroot` and injects JS and CSS scripts in your view(layout)
    - Create directory for layouts and views: `app/themes/admin/views/layouts`
    - Look more information about [Yii theming](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-output-theming.html)
- `app\models`: Put there your data-models, for example ActiveRecord models for interact with database
- `app\modules`: There you can place your separate [Yii-modules](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-structure-modules.html), like user's panel, admin's panel, etc…
- `lib`: This is arbitrary directory for development separate custom components. Classes to be placed there must be in namespace `MuVO\Yii2`. For example, if I want to create `Connector` for `SomeComponent`, I should:
    1. Create file `lib/SomeComponent/Connector.php` with following content: ```
