Scalable React Projects with Feature-Based Architecture
Introduction scaling React apps gets messy quickly as they grow. Flat structures like components/, pages/, and hooks/ don't scale well for real-world applications. As your application grows, you'll end up with hundreds of unrelated components and hooks dumped into global folders. Searching and maintaining becomes a nightmare. What is Feature-Based Architecture? Feature-Based Architecture is an organizational pattern where code is grouped by feature or domain, instead of by file type. In traditional React project structures, it's common to see directories like components/, pages/, hooks/, and utils/ at the top level. This might work for small projects, but it quickly becomes hard to manage as the app grows. In contrast, feature-based architecture groups all files related to a specific functionality (e.g., Posts, Products, Users) together in one directory. Each feature becomes a self-contained module with its own UI components, logic, hooks, types, tests, and even routing if needed.
