Why Project Structure Matters
A small React application can work with a simple folder structure. As the application grows, organizing code by responsibility or business feature becomes increasingly important.
Feature-Based Structure
In a feature-based architecture, components, Hooks, services, tests, and related logic for one business feature are kept close together.
Benefits
- Related code is easier to find.
- Features have clearer boundaries.
- Large teams can work more independently.
- Refactoring can be limited to a specific feature.
- Shared code can be separated from feature-specific code.
Do Not Over-Engineer Early
Start with a structure that fits the current project. Introduce more architectural layers when the application actually needs them.
