Projects in Nordcraft
A project in Nordcraft can be either an app or a package.
Apps
These projects are full applications used for web development, including web apps, websites and more. Since Nordcraft is built on standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you can create anything from simple pages to complex interactive experiences.
See here for creating an app.
Packages
Packages are modular, self-contained collections of components or functions that can be used across multiple apps. They help keep your projects organized by separating reusable elements and logic. Packages are public, allowing other users to install and integrate them into their own projects.
See here for creating a package.
It is currently not possible to use packages in packages.
Packages in Nordcraft work similar to NPM packages. They can contain pure logic, visual elements or both.
