For managing the project in a more concise way, we can create these folders for more manageable code:
components
core
common
layouts
pages
stories
styles
pages
utils
hooks
lib
services
store
types
This folder contains reusable UI components used throughout the application. It has three folders:
The core
folder contains the unbreakable components such as buttons, inputs, svg icons etc.
The common
folder contains common components that combine multiple core components. These are shared across different layouts in the application. Examples include various types of cards, dropdowns, tabs, accordions, and modals.
The layouts
folder contains components that define the structure of pages. These components often include headers, footers, or sidebars and are used across multiple pages. Layout components are usually made up of multiple common and core components.
The pages
folder contains the main pages of the application. Each file in this folder represents a route in the application. These pages are composed of various components from the components
folder and are responsible for rendering the content that users interact with. The structure of the pages
folder follows the Official Next.js Project Structure and Organization
.
Here is an example of a simple page component:
// filepath: /path/to/pages/Home.js
import { NextPage } from 'next';
import React from 'react';
import Header from '../components/layouts/Header';
import Footer from '../components/layouts/Footer';
import MainContent from '../components/common/MainContent';
const Home: NextPage = () => {
return (
<div>
<Header />
<MainContent />
<Footer />
</div>
);
};
export default Home;
The stories
folder contains Storybook stories for the components in the application. These stories are used to document and visually test components in isolation. Each component typically has a corresponding story file that demonstrates its various states and uses.
The styles
folder contains global styles, theme definitions, and any other styling-related code. This includes CSS, SCSS, or styled-components files that define the look and feel of the application. It helps maintain a consistent design system across the entire project.
The utils
folder contains utility functions and helpers that are used throughout the application.
The hooks
folder contains custom React hooks that encapsulate reusable logic and state management.
The lib
folder contains utility functions, helpers, or any other code that doesn't fit into the other categories but is still shared across the application.
The services
folder contains code related to making API calls, handling authentication, or any other service-related logic.
The store
folder contains code related to state management in the application using Zustand.
- Store Configuration: Set up and configure the Zustand store.
- Slices: Organize state into logical slices for better modularity and maintainability.
Here is an example of how to set up a Zustand store:
// filepath: /path/to/store/useStore.js
import create from 'zustand';
const useStore = create((set) => ({
// Define your state and actions here
count: 0,
increment: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count + 1 })),
decrement: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count - 1 })),
}));
export default useStore;
The types
folder contains TypeScript type definitions and interfaces used throughout the application. This helps in maintaining type safety and consistency across the codebase. By defining types in a centralized location, it becomes easier to manage and update them as the application evolves.
Here is an example of a simple type definition:
// filepath: /path/to/types/index.d.ts
export interface User {
id: number;
name: string;
email: string;
}
These type definitions can then be imported and used in various parts of the application to ensure that the data structures are consistent and type-safe.
