Understanding the directory structure

If you have installed a Nuxt project successfully using the create-nuxt-app scaffolding tool, you should get the following default directories and files in your project folder:

-| your-app-name/
---| assets/
---| components/
---| layouts/
---| middleware/
---| node_modules/
---| pages/
---| plugins/
---| static/
---| store/
---| nuxt.config.js
---| package.json
---| README.md

Let's go through each of them and understand what they are intended for in the following sections.
