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
