Quick Quiz //

What is the primary purpose of the 'src' folder in a React project?


How you organize your React project determines how well it will scale. A clear folder structure is the hallmark of a professional application.

1The Component Hierarchy

Building a React app starts with breaking the UI into a component hierarchy. Start by drawing boxes around every component in your mockup and giving them names. In your file system, this translates to a nested folder structure where each component has a clear, single responsibility.

2The 'src' Heart

The src folder is where 99% of your coding happens.

  • β†’components/: Stateless and stateful UI blocks.
  • β†’hooks/: Encapsulated logic shared across components.
  • β†’assets/: Static files like images and SVG icons.
  • β†’App.jsx: The main orchestrator of your application structure.
