As your React Native app grows, having a clean project structure becomes just as important as writing good code.
A well-organized architecture makes your app easier to maintain, debug, and scale with a team.
Hereโs a production-ready structure that works well for most projects:
src/
โโโ assets/
โโโ components/
โโโ hooks/
โโโ navigation/
โโโ modules/
โโโ screens/
โโโ services/
โโโ api/
โโโ utils/
โโโ constants/
โโโ theme/
โโโ types/
โโโ store/
โโโ context/
โ Best Practices
โข Keep UI components reusable.
โข Separate business logic from UI.
โข Create custom hooks for reusable functionality.
โข Store API calls in a dedicated services/api folder.
โข Use TypeScript for better type safety.
โข Centralize colors, spacing, and typography in a theme folder.
โข Avoid duplicate code by creating shared components.
โข Organize features into modules instead of placing everything inside screens.
