Building scalable, maintainable, and efficient React applications starts with a strong foundation — and that foundation is project structure.
Here’s a practical and battle-tested folder structure for React projects, designed for real-world applications:
✅ Modular and Feature-Based Architecture
✅ Organized Components, Hooks, Services, and Types
✅ Clear Separation of Concerns
✅ Support for Scalability and Team Collaboration
✅ Maintainable Codebase for Enterprise-Grade Applications
🧩 Key Highlights
- 📁 components/ — Common reusable UI components like Button, Modal, Layouts (MainLayout, AuthLayout).
- 📁 features/ — Feature-specific modules (e.g., products, users) with their own components, hooks, services, and types, isolated by domain.
- 📁 hooks/ — Reusable custom hooks (e.g., useAuth, useDebounce) at a global level.
- 📁 routes/ — Centralized route management with protected routes and app-wide routing configuration.
- 📁 services/ — API services, interceptors, and network utilities.
- 📁 store/ — Centralized state management (Redux slices, store configuration).
- 📁 utils/ — Helper functions and constants for clean and DRY code.
- 📁 styles/ — Global SCSS styling including variables, mixins, and global styles.
- 📁 assets/ — Static assets like images, fonts, and icons.
- 📁 pages/ — Top-level route pages (HomePage, LoginPage, ProductPage) composed of features and components.
- 📁 tests/ — Organized tests for components, pages, and utilities.
🔧 Why it matters?
✅ Enhances team productivity and onboarding
✅ Supports modular growth and scaling
✅ Reduces technical debt over time
✅ Improves code readability, reusability, and maintainability
