Folder Structure

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

How you organize files and directories in a frontend project — a foundational decision that either keeps a codebase navigable as it grows, or turns it into a maze.

How to Learn This

  • 1Compare 2-3 popular folder structures (by type, by feature, atomic) for the same app.
  • 2Refactor an existing 'everything in one folder' project into a clearer structure.
  • 3Pick a structure and apply it consistently — consistency matters more than the specific choice.
