Apprendre Directory Structure

Definition

In MVC projects, the directory structure refers to the way you organize your files and folders to separate models, views, controllers, and supporting resources. This structure helps keep your codebase clean, maintainable, and easy to navigate.

Organizing your files into dedicated folders for models, views, and controllers is a core practice in MVC development. This approach ensures that each part of your application is clearly separated by its responsibility. When you keep your models, views, and controllers in distinct locations, you can quickly find and update the code you need, avoid mixing business logic with presentation, and reduce the risk of errors caused by tangled code.

models/User.php

views/userView.php

controllers/UserController.php

public/index.php


              12345678
            
<?php
class User {
    public $name;

    public function __construct($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }
}

This structure enforces a separation of concerns by assigning each folder a clear purpose: models handle data and logic, views manage presentation, and controllers coordinate the flow between them. By keeping these responsibilities apart, you make your code easier to test, debug, and extend.

config/config.php

assets/style.css


              12345
            
<?php
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'myapp');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', '');

Adding folders for configuration and assets further improves the organization of your project. When your application grows, this structure makes it much easier to scale by allowing you to add new features or update existing ones without disrupting unrelated parts of your code. Maintenance becomes simpler because you always know where to look for specific files, and your team can work more efficiently with a predictable layout.
