# Repository Organization
This document describes the high-level architecture of the Unraid API repository.
## Overview
The repository consists of:
- API Server (NestJS)
- Redux Store
- Core Modules
- Tests
## API Server Architecture
The API server is built with NestJS and provides the core functionality for interacting with Unraid systems.
### Key Components
- `src/unraid-api/` - Core NestJS implementation
- `src/core/` - Legacy business logic and utilities
- `src/store/` - Redux store and state management
- `src/common/` - Shared utilities and types
## Redux Store
The store manages application state through several modules:
### Store Modules
- `config` - User settings, authentication, and API configuration
- `emhttp` - Unraid system and array state
- `registration` - License management
- `cache` - Application caching
- `docker` - Container management
- `upnp` - UPnP functionality
- `dynamix` - Plugin state
- `minigraph` - Mothership connectivity
- `notifications` - System notifications
### Store Listeners
Key listeners that handle side effects:
- Array state changes
- Configuration updates
- Remote access changes
- Server state updates
- UPnP changes
- WAN access changes
### Store Synchronization
The store syncs data in two ways:
- Flash Storage - Persistent configuration
- Memory Storage - Runtime state
## Project Structure
The repository is organized into several packages:
- `api/` - NestJS API server
- `plugin/` - Unraid plugin package
- `web/` - Frontend application
- `unraid-ui/` - Shared UI components
## Development Flow
New development should focus on the NestJS implementation in `src/unraid-api/`:
1. Create new features in `src/unraid-api/` using NestJS patterns
2. Use dependency injection and NestJS modules
3. Legacy code in `src/core/` should be gradually migrated
4. State management still uses Redux store when needed
## Best Practices
1. Follow NestJS architectural patterns
2. Use TypeScript decorators and strong typing
3. Implement proper dependency injection
4. Write unit tests for new services
