Set Up Frontend Structure

Set Up Frontend Structure

1. Audit current state

For each folder below, check if it already exists and is non-empty:

• src/components/atoms
• src/components/molecules
• src/components/organisms
• src/components/templates
• src/components/pages
• src/hooks (React) or src/composables (Vue)
• src/libs
• src/utils

(The test tree lives at a top-level tests/, created by configure-test-stack — not here.)

Detect framework from package.json (react vs vue). The hook-vs-composable folder is framework-specific — see ../_shared/conventions.md.

If every folder exists and is non-empty, exit: "Structure already in place."

2. Decide what to do

• Nothing in place → full setup (steps 3–5).
• Partial → create only missing folders; do not overwrite existing files.
• Already structured → exit.

3. Create folder tree

Create:

src/
├── components/
│   ├── atoms/
│   ├── molecules/
│   ├── organisms/
│   ├── templates/
│   └── pages/
├── hooks/        (React) OR composables/ (Vue)
├── libs/
└── utils/

(Tests are not under src/. configure-test-stack creates a top-level tests/{unit,ui,integration,e2e} tree.)

Drop a .gitkeep in each empty folder so git tracks them.

4. Add barrel files

Create one index.ts per atomic layer (5 files) and one for hooks/composables, libs, utils. Each starts empty (just a header comment) and gets re-exports added as components/utilities are introduced.

// src/components/atoms/index.ts
// Barrel: re-exports every atom in this folder.

Repeat for molecules, organisms, templates, pages, hooks (or composables), libs, utils.

5. Generate one example per atomic layer

To document the convention, generate a single example component at each layer with a matching *.stories.ts sibling. Tests are not co-located — they live in a top-level tests/ tree created by configure-test-stack (ref test-layout.md); stories sit beside their component, where the Storybook Vitest addon runs them as tests in place.

React example tree

src/components/atoms/Button/
├── Button.tsx
├── Button.stories.ts
└── index.ts

src/components/molecules/SearchInput/
├── SearchInput.tsx
├── SearchInput.stories.ts
└── index.ts

src/components/organisms/Header/
├── Header.tsx
├── Header.stories.ts
└── index.ts

src/components/templates/AuthLayout/
├── AuthLayout.tsx
├── AuthLayout.stories.ts
└── index.ts

src/components/pages/HomePage/
├── HomePage.tsx
├── HomePage.stories.ts
└── index.ts

Example file content (React Button atom)

// src/components/atoms/Button/Button.tsx
import type { ButtonHTMLAttributes, ReactNode } from 'react';

type ButtonProps = ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> & {
  children: ReactNode;
};

export function Button({ children, ...rest }: ButtonProps) {
  return (
    <button
      type="button"
      className="px-3 py-1.5 rounded-md bg-blue-600 text-white hover:bg-blue-700 disabled:opacity-50"
      {...rest}
    >
      {children}
    </button>
  );
}

// src/components/atoms/Button/index.ts
export * from './Button';

// src/components/atoms/Button/Button.stories.ts
import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react';
import { Button } from './Button';

const meta: Meta<typeof Button> = {
  title: 'Atoms/Button',
  component: Button,
};
export default meta;

export const Default: StoryObj<typeof Button> = {
  args: { children: 'Click me' },
};

For Vue projects, mirror this structure with .vue SFCs and .stories.ts siblings (no co-located tests).

After generating one example per layer, also update each barrel:

// src/components/atoms/index.ts
export * from './Button';

6. Verify

pnpm tsc --noEmit

Expected: 0 errors. The example components and their stories compile.

If stories fail to resolve @storybook/*, the deps weren't installed — run scaffold-frontend-project first. The test stack (Vitest browser mode, Playwright, MSW, and the top-level tests/ tree) is set up separately by configure-test-stack.
