How I Structure a React Project in 15 Minutes
A quick method to set up a clean and maintainable React project without wasting hours.
1. Start with Pages and Components
I create a <code>pages</code> folder for routes and a <code>components</code> folder for reusable UI pieces. Keeping them separate keeps the project clean and makes scaling easier.
2. Organize Assets and Styles
Inside <code>assets</code>, I store images, icons, and fonts. Tailwind handles most styling, but I keep a <code>styles</code> folder for global CSS and utilities I need.
3. Add Services and Hooks Early
Even if the project is small, I add <code>hooks</code> and <code>services</code> folders. This keeps API calls, data fetching, and custom hooks organized from the start.
Takeaway:
Spending 15 minutes upfront to organize the project saves hours later. A good project structure = faster development and cleaner, maintainable code.
