Folder Structure
- In programming, we have a concept called cohesion, which means things that are related should be next to each other. Things that are unrelated, should be separate.
- Our CSS file and our TSX or component file are highly related. Our component file is going to be dependent on the CSS file.
- Now if you separate these two files, and put the CSS file in a separate folder, like styles, tomorrow, if you want to take this component and use it in a different project, we have to go to two different folders and cherry pick different files, not the best way.
- With this structure. If you want to reuse this component in another project, we can simply come and grab these two files and take them somewhere else.
- We can also add a new folder called list group and, in this folder, we'll have all the materials or all the building blocks of the component. So we have a CSS and a TypeScript file.
ListGroup
- index.tsx
import ListGroup from './ListGroup.tsx'
export default ListGroup
- ListGroup.css
- ListGroup.tsx
- App.tsx
import ListGroup from './components/ListGroup';
- If we don't supply a file, and referencing a folder, the compiler will look for a file called index
