Hey Devs! I'm working on a new React project and have put a lot of thought into structuring it for long-term scalability and maintainability. I'd love to get your feedback and hear any suggestions you might have.

I've opted for a primarily feature-based structure, centered around the concept of pages, to maximize component reuse and minimize code duplication. Here's a simplified overview:

src/
├── App/ # Application entry and providers
│ ├── Providers/ # Context providers (Theme, I18N)
│ ├── Routes/ # Routing configuration
│ └── Stores/ # Global state management (using Zustand/Redux/etc.)
├── Config/ # Application-wide configurations
├── Core/ # Core functionalities (Auth, Error handling)
├── Features/ # Page-based features
│ ├── Home/ # Home page feature
│ │ ├── Api/ # API calls related to Home
│ │ ├── Components/ # Components specific to Home
│ │ ├── I18N/ # Internationalization for Home
│ │ ├── Pages/ # Page-level components
│ │ │ └── index.tsx # Main Home page component.
│ │ │ └── SuperAdminHome.tsx # Role Specific variant
│ │ └── Stores/ # State management for Home (if needed)
│ ├── Profile/ # Profile page feature (similar structure)
│ └── Users/ # Users management feature
│ ├── Api/ # API interactions
│ ├── Components/ # Components (potentially subdivided)
│ ├── Hooks/ # Custom Hooks
│ ├── I18N/ # Internationalization
│ ├── Pages/ # Page components
│ │ ├── List/ # User list pages, Role based folder organization
│ │ │ ├── index.tsx # Main users list component
│ │ │ └── SuperAdminListActions.tsx # Variation if need be
│ │ └── Create/ # Create user pages
│ │ ├── index.tsx # Main user create component
│ │ └── SuperAdminCreateUserForm.tsx # Variation if need be
│ └── Stores/ # User-related state
├── Layout/ # Layout components (Header, Sidebar)
├── Shared/ # Shared components and utilities
│ ├── Assets/
│ ├── Components/
│ └── Utils/
└── ...

Key Decisions and Considerations:

Page-centric Features: Organizing features around pages promotes component reuse and simplifies navigation.

Role-based Variations: Role-specific variations are handled within the page's folder (e.g., separate components or conditional rendering) to keep related logic together.

Clear Separation of Concerns: Dedicated folders for API calls, components, hooks, I18N, and stores enhance maintainability.

Shared for Reusability: Reusable components and utility functions live in the Shared directory.

Questions for the Community:

What are your thoughts on this structure? Do you see any potential drawbacks or areas for improvement?

How would you handle more complex role-based variations within this structure?

Any best practices or alternative approaches you would recommend?

Is there anything I've overlooked or could be done differently to further improve scalability and maintainability?

Thanks in advance for your insights! I'm eager to learn from your experiences and improve my project architecture.
