To include this structure in your Coding Convention document:

Root (twitter_clone_react) directory:

  • The root directory, named 'twitter_clone_react', is the main folder of the application.
  • It should contain the 'index.html' file, which serves as the entry point for the HTML structure of the app and configuration files like 'package.json', '.gitignore', and essential React files including 'App.jsx', 'App.css', 'main.jsx', and 'index.css'.
  • This directory serves as the entry point for the application and houses the primary React components.

public directory:

  • The 'public' directory contains static assets that are not processed by Webpack and a 'images' subdirectory for storing static images used across the application.
  • Assets in this directory can be accessed directly via the URL.

src directory:

  • The 'src' directory is where the majority of the application's source code resides. This includes JavaScript files, component files, CSS files, and any other assets or modules specific to the application.
  • It is the core directory where most of the development work takes place.

assets directory:

  • Inside the 'src' directory, the 'assets' subdirectory is used for organizing global static assets like stylesheets, images, and fonts.
  • For instance, the 'css' folder within 'assets' can contain global styling files that are used throughout the application.

components directory:

  • The 'components' directory is a crucial part of the application, containing all the React components organized into subdirectories based on their functionality.
  • For example, 'auth' for authentication-related components, 'home' for the home page components, 'profile' for user profile components, and so on. This structure helps in maintaining a clean and organized codebase.

services directory:

  • The 'services' directory contains files related to external services and APIs.
  • This might include modules for making HTTP requests, interfacing with backend services, or any other service-related utilities that the application requires to communicate with external resources.

utiles directory:

  • The 'utils' directory houses utility functions and helpers that are used across various components in the application.
  • These might include functions for date formatting, data manipulation, custom hooks, and other reusable logic pieces that help in reducing code duplication and maintaining consistency.
