Code Structure and Organization

Directory Structure:

The codebase is organized into the following directories:

  • src: Contains the main source code of the application.

    • tests: Houses all unit tests for the codebase.

    • api: This directory holds the API-related components and functions.

      • services: Contains services for interacting with different API endpoints.
      • utils: Utilities for API-related operations.
    • components: This directory contains all the reusable components used in the application.

      • atoms: Basic UI elements like buttons, inputs, etc.
      • molecules: Combinations of atoms that form more complex UI elements.
      • organisms: Larger UI components that combine molecules and atoms.
      • templates: Reusable UI structures like pages and layouts.
    • pages: This directory holds the logic and components for each page of the application.

    • routes: Configures the routes of the application, mapping URLs to corresponding pages.

    • theme: Contains the application’s styling and theme.

    • utils: General utilities used throughout the application.

    • contexts: Defines and manages global state for the application.

    • types: Contains type definitions for the application.

    • index.js: The main entry point for the application.

  • public: Holds static assets like images, fonts, and CSS.

  • styles: Contains the application’s global CSS styles.

Module Imports and Exports:

The codebase uses CommonJS modules for importing and exporting functions and classes. Here’s an example from src/components/atoms/Button.js:

// Import necessary modules
          const React = require('react');
          const PropTypes = require('prop-types');
          
          // Define the Button component
          const Button = ({ children, onClick, className }) => (
            <button className={className} onClick={onClick}>
              {children}
            </button>
          );
          
          // Export the Button component
          module.exports = Button;
          

Coding Conventions and Best Practices:

The codebase follows the following conventions and practices:

  • Code Style: The code adheres to the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide https://github.com/airbnb/javascript.
  • Linting: The codebase uses ESLint to enforce code style and catch potential errors.
  • Testing: The codebase uses Jest for unit testing and follows the principle of Test-Driven Development.
  • Documentation: The codebase utilizes JSDoc for documenting code and functions.

Examples:

  • API Service Example: src/api/services/user.js
  • Component Example: src/components/molecules/LoginForm.js
  • Route Definition Example: src/routes.js
