Where is the content folder?

[EasonPai]

After I setup everything with lazybones, I got only modules of

• core
• ui.apps

And under module ui.apps, there are only folders of

• /apps
• /conf

This is normal?
If not, what should I do if I want to develop the /content as well?

Why do you want to include /content in your deployment? That's the location where authors change content and which should never be overwritten by any deployment.

@joerghoh Understood. It makes sense to me that no /content is needed to develop outside of CRX.

Only I saw the structure of official archetypehas a /content module it. I am confused, what consideration leads to the difference?

[joerghoh]

the ui.content project should just come with the /conf folder (and even that is questionable from my point of view), but never with /content.
I guess that it's time to review that structure a bit :-)

It is a fairly common deployment pattern on projects to have a ui.content project that contains bootstrap content such as the initial site structure. This project is usually deployed separately from the other modules so that you can deploy it when setting up a new environment while leaving it out on subsequent builds.

@EasonPai You could always update the filter.xml to include /content and then include those paths. Just note that if you deploy this after content has been authored in an environment that you will erase any content that is there.
