Doesn't Codeigniter have folders like assets and layout

Question

I am new to CI. I am using version 2. I noticed like other frameworks CI didn't have folders like assets and layout. Where do i place files like css and js and images. Also where is the layout folder.

Answer 1

You can place your assets directory wherever you desire, putting it under the root CodeIgniter directory is usually the norm.

CodeIgniter has no reason to include an assets directory as that's usually a front-end requirement, of which CI isn't made for (it's a back end MVC framework).
