In my current role as a Software Engineer, my team and I have developed several JavaScript projects, and the structure has evolved as we faced new challenges. One project - an inventory management system for a retail client - exemplifies our approach to structuring a JavaScript project.
Based on the project's complexity, we followed the version control system (Git) and divided our project into numerous repositories, each serving a distinctive purpose. We handled our front-end with ReactJS, leveraging the component-based structure to build reusable UI components that improved development speed and quality. In back-end, we utilized Express.js and divided our code into various modular routes that served different functions.
Additionally, we implemented Unit Testing to test each module independently using tools like Mocha and Chai. As a result, our code was easily testable, maintainable, robust, and our application successfully managed the client's voluminous inventory data.
