# Contribution
### Code Structure
The codebase is structured in 3 big components:
* Client
* Server
* Signal
* Dashboard (separate [repository](https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard))
Refer to [architecture documentation](https://netbird.io/docs/overview/architecture) for more information.

### CLIENT
The Client consists of three different components.
##### Daemon
```
client/server # daemon server that runs in the background
client/proto # grpc daemon server listening to either the CLI or UI for requests
management/client # grpc client that connects to the management server
```
The Daemon runs in the background, and keeps the connection running.
##### CLI
We use [Cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) as our CLI framework
```
client/cmd # All CLI commands are defined and implemented here
client/cmd/root.go # All commands are registered in root.go
```
##### UI-App
We use [systray](https://github.com/getlantern/systray) and [fyne](https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne) to write a UI application for the Systemtray.
```
client/ui # All UI elements implemented here
```
---
### MANAGEMENT
```
management/cmd # These are the CLI commands for starting the management server
management/proto # Management proto server for client
management/server # This is the actual management server, responsible for IDP and managing
```
---
### SIGNAL
```
signal/server
```
