How to organize Expo app folder structure for clarity and scalability
Blog post from Expo
Organizing a codebase with a clear folder structure is crucial for both human developers and AI tools to enhance productivity and maintainability, particularly in an Expo Router setup. The blog discusses strategies for achieving this, such as using a /src folder to separate app code from configuration files and creating a /components folder for reusable elements. It emphasizes the importance of file-based routing and suggests creating a /screens folder to manage complex UI code separately from components. Additionally, the text recommends designating a /utils folder for miscellaneous utilities and separating server code into a /server or /api folder for better management and to prevent route collisions. The document also highlights the benefits of using platform-specific file extensions to manage code for different targets and suggests colocating styles and unit tests within files for easier access and maintenance. Adopting these organizational practices can significantly improve the scalability and readability of a codebase.
