```
Which root folder do you want to use?
```

Here you can just hit enter to keep the template default root folder or enter a custom folder.
In this specified folder, the `src` and `static` folders gets created.


## Templates

### Web-App

This is the standard template for stand-alone web apps. The root folder is your project directory by default.


### Symfony

The Symfony template sets the root folder to `public/`.
In addition, the dev server can proxy your web-server and watch to twig template changes.

To use the nikita build files, just add something like following lines to your base.html.twig file:
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('static/generated/styles.css') }}" />
<script src="{{ asset('static/generated/main.js') }}"></script>
```

### Wordpress

The Wordpress template sets the source folder to `web/`.

To use the nikita build files (e.g. `web/static/generated/main.js` and `web/static/generated/styles.css`), just enqueue them in your wordpress theme like this:
```php
wp_enqueue_script('main.js', '/web/static/generated/main.js', array(), '1.0', false);
wp_enqueue_style('styles.css', '/web/static/generated/styles.css', array(), '1.0', 'all');
```

### Spring Boot

The Spring Boot template sets the source folder to `src/main/resources/web/`.
In addition, the files `Application.java` and `pom.xml` are generated.
Therefor you were ask for Java groupId, Java version and Spring Boot version.
