# registry scaffold

{% alert type="note" title="Description" %}
Scaffold a Xano registry folder with a sample component. A registry has three parts:
  • index.json — the item list (each entry follows the registry item schema)
  • <type>/<name>.json — item descriptors (e.g. functions/hello-world.json)
  • components/<type>/<name>.xs — the actual source files that items point at
An item's files[].path points into components/; an item may instead carry inline content. See the registry and registry-item schemas at https://calycode.com/schemas/registry/.
