Best Practices for Code Refactoring

[ank1traj]

Code refactoring is the process of restructuring and improving existing code to make it more efficient, readable, and maintainable without changing its functionality. In the case of the current project, the code is currently stored in the "pages" folder, including the components. This can lead to difficulty in managing and maintaining the code, especially as the project grows in complexity.

To improve the codebase, a refactor could involve reorganizing the code into separate folders for pages and components, following best practices for file naming and organization. Additionally, the code could be optimized for performance, removing any unnecessary or redundant code, and improving the overall code structure to make it more readable and easier to maintain. This will lead to a more scalable and maintainable codebase, which is crucial for the long-term success of any project.

It's not recommended to keep all the code, including components, in the pages folder in Next.js. The pages folder should only contain the top-level pages of the application, and components should be kept in a separate folder. Keeping components in the pages folder can lead to confusion and make it difficult to maintain the code. Additionally, it can result in a slower build time and negatively impact the performance of the application. Therefore, it's recommended to move the components to a separate folder and import them as needed in the pages. This will help in keeping the code organized and maintainable.

It can be done as we coauthor the commits. Needs a particular structure to refactor accordingly as you ask to.
