Summary  
This chapter outlines the organization of a Vite React codebase by detailing the purpose of key files and directories—such as src for code, public for static assets, node_modules for dependencies, and various config files—for effective project structure.  

General domain of usage  
Front-end web development

When you create a React project with Vite, it generates a set of files and folders that make up the **project structure**. At first glance, this structure may look overwhelming, but you don't need to understand everything at once.

Explore what each main folder and file is used for and which parts you'll work with most often.

## Project Root Overview
A Vite React project typically contains the following items at the root level:
- node_modules;
- public;
- src;
- index.html;
- package.json;
- package-lock.json;
- vite.config.js;
- eslint.config.js;
- .gitignore;
- README.md;

Let's break down the most important ones.

Which folder contains most of your React application code?

Explore how React is used to build dynamic user interfaces using components, JSX, and props. Manage state and side effects with hooks, render lists and conditional UI, and apply styling to real components. Set up a React project with Vite and understand how applications are structured.
