ReactJS - React App Folder Structure

A well-organized folder structure in a React app improves maintainability and scalability. Below is a basic React app folder structure.

my-app/
│-- node_modules/  
│-- public/  
│-- src/  
│   ├── assets/  
│   ├── components/  
│   ├── App.jsx  
│   ├── main.jsx  
│-- .gitignore  
│-- index.html  
│-- package.json  
│-- vite.config.js  
│-- README.md  

Folder & File Explanation:

• node_modules/ : Stores installed dependencies and packages.
• public/ : Stores static assets (like images, favicons, etc.).
• src/ : Main Development Folder.
  • App.jsx : The main React component.
  • main.jsx : Entry point that renders the React app into index.html .
  • components/ : (Create this folder) Stores reusable UI components.
  • assets/ : Stores static assets like images, icons, and CSS files.
• .gitignore : Specifies files to ignore in Git (e.g., node_modules/).
• index.html : Vite directly uses this file as the entry point.
• vite.config.js : Configuration file for Vite (for setting up plugins, aliases, etc.).
• package.json : Contains project metadata and dependencies.
• README.md : Documentation for the project.
