How to organize folder structure in node.js?

Question

I'm searching for a video/blog post or something related that help me organize my node.js web application.

I have an application where i am using express.js upon node.js.

I'm using:

Mvc pattern, 
i18n, 
config env prod/dev, 
custom middlewares, 
custom prototypes
custom modules 

I need organize better the folder structure, but i don't know exactly how.

I already search for this, but i was only able to find poor explanations about an good folder structure in a node.js app.

The app also have an admin dashboard, so i am separating the public, views and controllers like this:

public
|-- admin
|-- client
views
|-- admin
|-- client
controllers
|-- admin
|-- client

This is a good idea?

Anyone knows a good book, video or blog post that can help me with my problem?

Answer 1

This looks like a pretty solid thread on Node App structure .

In my own opinion, I always try to follow the rule of never repeating yourself in development. Looks like you are repeating your structure a lot above. If I were you I would do one of the following:

1. Make two separate Node apps. One for clients and one for admin.
2. If your controllers are going to be similar for both client or admin, I would consider building one app that identifies a user as a general user or an admin and render their experience that way. Then just throw away the admin/client folders.

EDIT:

Scotch.io always has great articles on Node and Express. See if this article or their other articles help.

Best Answer:

After some team research we found this link to be most useful. It has a great five folder layout for an admin panel and client experience.
