Ideal React Component Structure

Overview

A battle-tested pattern for organizing React component files that emphasizes readability, maintainability, and logical flow. This structure helps teams maintain consistency and makes components easier to understand at a glance.

Core principle: Declare everything in a predictable order--imports to styles to types to logic to render--so developers know where to find things.

When to Use

Always use when:

• Creating new React components
• Refactoring existing components
• Reviewing component structure during code review
• Onboarding developers to component patterns

Useful for:

• Establishing team conventions
• Maintaining large component libraries
