📁 Recommended React Folder Structure

A clean and organized folder structure makes your React projects easier to manage, scale, and collaborate on. Here’s a recommended layout for most mid-sized apps.

📦 Typical Folder Layout

my-app/
├── public/
│   └── index.html
├── src/
│   ├── assets/        # Images, icons, fonts, etc.
│   ├── components/    # Reusable UI components
│   ├── pages/         # Route-level pages
│   ├── layouts/       # Shared page wrappers
│   ├── hooks/         # Custom hooks
│   ├── context/       # React Context providers
│   ├── services/      # API functions or utilities
│   ├── styles/        # Global or modular styles
│   ├── App.jsx
│   └── main.jsx       # (or index.js)
├── .env
├── package.json
└── README.md

🧩 Folder Breakdown

• assets/ – Images, icons, logos
• components/ – Reusable buttons, cards, modals, etc.
• pages/ – Route-level views like Home, About, BlogDetail
• layouts/ – Wrappers like Navbar/Footer or AuthLayout
• hooks/ – Custom hooks like useDarkMode()
• context/ – React Contexts like Auth, Theme, Cart
• services/ – API clients (Axios, fetch wrappers)
• styles/ – Tailwind config, global.css, or CSS Modules

✅ Best Practices

• Keep components small and focused
• Split files by feature not just type (feature-based structure)
• Use index.js inside folders for easier imports
• Name files and folders consistently (camelCase or kebab-case)

📦 Optional Advanced Structure

src/
├── features/
│   └── blog/
│       ├── BlogList.jsx
│       ├── BlogDetail.jsx
│       ├── blogSlice.js
│       └── blogAPI.js
