# Tutorial
## Introduction
This tutorial will walk you through the codebase of AFFiNE. It is intended for new contributors to AFFiNE.
## Building the project
Make sure you know how to build the project. See [BUILDING](../BUILDING.md) for more information.
For the debugging purpose, you might need use local OctoBase on port 3000.
## Codebase overview
The codebase is organized as follows:
- `apps/` contains the source code for the different entry points of the project.
- `web/` contains the source code for the web app.
- `electron/` contains the source code for the Electron app.
- `server/` backend side for AFFiNE, see <https://github.com/toeverything/OctoBase> instead.
- `packages/` contains the source code for all the packages in the repo.
- `cli` contains the source code for the CLI. Development only.
- `component` contains the source code for the UI component library.
- `debug` contains the source code for the debug helper.
- `env` contains the source code for the environment setup.
- `hooks` contains the source code for the custom React hooks.
- `i18n` contains the source code for the internationalization.
- `jotai` contains the source code for the Jotai store atoms.
- `octobase-node` contains the source code for the OctoBase Node.js binding using Rust.
- `templates` contains the source code for the templates.
- `workspace` contains the source code for the workspace related code.
### `@affine/env`
Environment setup for AFFiNE client side.
It includes the global constants, browser and system check.
This package should be imported at the very beginning of the entry point.
### `@affine/workspace`
Current we have two workspace plugin:
- `local` for local workspace, which is the default workspace type.
- `affine` for cloud workspace, which is the workspace type for AFFiNE Cloud with OctoBase backend.
#### Design principles
- Each workspace plugin has its state and is isolated from other workspace plugins.
- The workspace plugin is responsible for its own state management, data persistence, synchronization, data backup and recovery.
For the workspace API, see [types.ts](../../packages/workspace/src/type.ts).
### `@affine/component`
The UI component library for AFFiNE.
Each component should be a standalone component which can be used in any context, like the Storybook.
## Debugging Environments
### `@affine/env`
```shell
yarn dev
```
### `@affine/electron`
See [building desktop client app](../building-desktop-client-app.md).
### `@affine/storybook`
```shell
yarn workspace @affine/storybook storybook
```
