Next.js Application Folder Structure Template
App Router project layout separating routes, shared components, server utilities, and tests. View the exact directory layout below and launch it into your workspace using FolderCopilot context engine.
Recommended Structure
Why this structure works
In the App Router, folders inside `app` are the routes, so directory layout and URL structure are the same decision. Route groups like `(marketing)` let you organise related pages without adding a URL segment, while keeping shared UI in `components` and non-React logic in `lib` stops route folders from filling up with code that has nothing to do with routing.
Small Project Adaptation
For a small site, drop the route groups and `tests`, and keep components directly inside `components` without a `ui` subfolder.
Large Scale Scaling
For a larger application, colocate route-specific components inside their route folder and reserve top-level `components` for genuinely shared UI. At that point a monorepo with `apps/` and `packages/` is usually the next step.
