Src Directory
Explore the optimal structure of the src directory in Vue applications to enhance scalability. Understand the purpose of key folders like api, components, composables, services, and store, and how organizing them aids in maintaining large-scale projects efficiently.
We'll cover the following...
- The api folder
- The assets folder
- The components directory
- The composables directory
- The layout directory
- The config directory
- The constants directory
- The directives folder
- The helpers folder
- The intl directory
- The plugins directory
- The router directory
- The services folder
- The store folder
- The styles folder
- The views folder
