Structuring a React Codebase to Avoid Long-Term Technical Debt

Many React projects start clean but become difficult to maintain as features grow. In this project, structure was treated as a first-class concern from the beginning.

Components were kept small and focused, with clear separation between UI, data handling, and business logic. This reduced the tendency to create oversized components that were hard to test or reuse.

Shared logic was abstracted thoughtfully, avoiding premature abstractions that often add complexity instead of reducing it.

jsx
function Button({ children }) {
  return <button>{children}</button>
}

This approach helped keep the codebase flexible and understandable as the application evolved.
