The headless project intensively uses "Redux" along with "Redux Toolkit", so prior knowledge is necessary.
The base of the /src
folder should only contain exports.
/app
contains app-wide setup: Redux store, root reducer, middlewares.
/state
contains interfaces for the various application states.
/features
has folders that each owns the functionalities of a feature, which is a subpart of the redux state. Following the "ducks pattern", those files contain Redux slices & reducers that define the state shape. Each feature folder has a file with actions that can be exported with the project.
/controllers
contains all the headless controllers in folders. Those controllers are exported and used to provide abstraction from the store's features by being closer to the actual UI controllers of a customer's application.
/utils
contains common useful utilities.
/api
contains everything regarding api calls.
/test
contains test mocks.
