# Modules & Components

> In this document we outline the best practices for organizing modules and components across the codebase. Clear separation of concerns between modules (which encompass business logic and domain-specific functionality) and components (reusable UI elements and building blocks) promotes clarity, scalability, and maintainability.

## Introduction

Our codebase follows a modular architecture with two primary organizational units:

1. **UI Components**: Reusable components in the `modules/ui/components` directory
2. **Feature Modules**: Domain-specific functionality organized by feature in the `modules` directory

## Module Organization

### Core Module Structure

Modules are organized by feature and can be found in the `modules` directory. Each module typically includes:

```
modules/
└── feature-name/
   ├── components/ # Feature-specific components
   ├── lib/ # Business logic and utilities
   ├── types/ # TypeScript types
   ├── actions.ts # Server actions
   └── route.ts # API routes (if needed)
```

### Enterprise Edition (EE) Modules

Enterprise features are organized in a dedicated `modules/ee` directory:

```
modules/
└── ee/
├── insights/
│ ├── components/
│ ├── experience/
│ └── types/
└── contacts/
├── segments/
└── components/
```

## Component Organization

### UI Component Structure

UI components are centralized in `modules/ui/components` and follow a consistent structure:

```
modules/ui/components/
└── component-name/
   ├── index.tsx # Main component implementation
   ├── stories.tsx # Storybook stories
   └── components/ # Sub-components (if needed)
```

### Component Types

1. **Base Components**: Fundamental UI elements like Button, Input, Modal

2. **Composite Components**: More complex components that combine base components

3. **Feature-Specific Components**: Components tied to specific features

### Feature Module Example

A feature module with its components and business logic:

```
modules/survey/
├── components/
│ ├── question-form-input/
│ └── template-list/
├── editor/
│ └── components/
├── lib/
│ └── utils.ts
└── types/
└── index.ts
```

## Best Practices

1. **Component Organization**
   * Keep components focused and single-purpose
   * Use proper TypeScript interfaces for props
   * Implement Storybook stories for UI components

2. **Module Structure**
   * Organize by feature domain
   * Separate business logic from UI components
   * Use proper type definitions

3. **Code Sharing**
   * Share common utilities through the ui/lib directory
   * Maintain clear boundaries between modules
   * Use proper imports with aliases (@/modules/...)
