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.
