Stop drowning in a 'component graveyard' and learn to organize your React project using the Big Four folders for a scalable, professional workflow.
From Clutter to Clean: Structuring Your Vite React Appのベスト引用
A good folder structure is like a well-labeled filing cabinet. It doesn't matter if the labels are in cursive or print, as long as they’re all in the same place and you can read them.

Explain how to structure a small Vite + React app: components folder, pages folder, hooks folder, assets folder. Keep it practical and beginner friendly.
よくある質問
Files in the public folder are served exactly as they are without any processing from the build tool. In contrast, files placed in src/assets are processed by Vite, which allows for optimizations like bundling and hashing. Hashing is particularly useful because it attaches a unique string to filenames, ensuring that users always see the latest version of an image or file instead of a stale, cached version.
The distinction helps create a clear hierarchy in your application. The components folder should be reserved for small, reusable UI building blocks like buttons, inputs, and cards. The pages folder is meant for top-level components that correspond to specific routes, such as a Home or Login screen. This organizational split prevents you from having to hunt through a massive list of generic components to find the logic for a specific screen.
You should move logic into the hooks folder when you want to separate "how things look" from "how things work." Following the "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle, if you find yourself writing the same logic—such as API fetching, form handling, or authentication checks—in multiple places, you should extract it into a custom hook. This keeps your UI components clean and focused solely on rendering.
Barrel files are index.js or index.ts files located inside a component folder that export the main component. They act as a "public lobby" or gatekeeper for that folder, allowing you to use cleaner import statements and hiding internal implementation details. By using an index file, you can change internal helper files or styles without breaking other parts of the app, as the rest of the project only interacts with what the index file explicitly exports.
You should consider switching when your top-level folders, like the components folder, begin to feel like a "junk drawer" again. If you notice that large groups of components and hooks are only ever used for a specific function—such as "User Profile" or "Shopping Cart"—it is more efficient to group them by feature. This "colocation" ensures that the code that changes together lives together, making the project easier to navigate as it scales.
