Folder Structure

Big and extensive React application should have well planned and organized project structure. Best way is to use a mix of strategies to achieve better results as I am going to describe next.

Top level project architecture (which is under src/ folder) should be organized by type. No files should be here, just folders. This way it will be clear and understandable. Similar to a home where you have a foundation, walls, roof and etc. Under these walls are rooms, but may be you don't want to go there if you have some work outside like for instance painting walls. Having files in here adding mess. We should keep it clear like this:

- src/
  - main/
  - modules/
  - library/
  - resources/

Main Folder : This folder is for main configurations such as Redux Create Store, Axios Instance and Routes

- src/main/
  - axios/
    - index.js
  - routes
    - index.js
    - PrivateRoute.js
  - store/
    - index.js
    - mainReducer.ts

Modules Folder : This folder is for Modules/Features of our app, we can treat this as containers. Each module/feature will have all its related files in same folder. We may have some module related components which we will be placing inside frames folder and components which are used in more than one module we will keep in common/components to share across the application. Reason for keeping all related files in same folder to increase maintainability and searchability.

- src/modules/
  - Dashboard/
    - index.jsx
    - dashboardStyles.scss
    - dashboardActions.js
    - dashboardConstants.js
    - dashboardReducer.js
    - frames/
      - HeaderFrame/
        - index.jsx
        - headerFrameStyles.scss
      - CoolFrame/
        - inex.jsx
        - coolFrameStyles.scss

Library Folder : This folder will keep all our helpers and common files which will be shared across the application. We have 2 major folder in this common and utilities. If you want to create some api services you can keep it in api folder inside library folder.

- src/library/
  - common
    - components
      - Header
        - index.jsx
        - styles.scss
      - Dropdown
        - index.jsx
        - styles.scss
    - actions
      - AuthActions.js
    - constants
      - StoreConstant.js
      - ImagesConstants.js
      - URLConstants.js
    - reducers
      - AuthReducer.js
  - utilities
    - Validators.js
    - Storage.js
  - api - (optional folder as per requirement create this)
    - AuthApiService.js

Resources Folder : This folder will be used to keep all our static resources such as images, styles (mixins, variable etc), seeds, fonts etc. In current starter pack fonts and seed folder is not created, you can add them as per your need.

- src/resources/
  - images/
    - logo.svg
  - styles/
    - variables.scss
    - mixins.scss
  - fonts/
    - Roboto.ttf
  - seed/
    - country.json
