Question

I am little confused about the folder structure for my project and grouping them in Controller. Project is E-Commerce. I have pages like

Home,About,Contact,Category menu and SubCategory list page, ProductList, ProductDetail, ShoppingCart, CartSummary, Checkout

User management
Edit Profile, Orders, login information management.

Admin
Product management (Insert, Update, Delete, Upload images, Adding Description etc), Category management, Order management etc.

Should I make areas?. How to make clean folder structure.

Answer 1

My suggestion:

• HomeController:
  • Home (Index action)
  • About
  • Contact
• CategoryController:
  • Category (Index action – subcategory as a parameter of the category action)
• ProductController:
  • List (you can share the productlist-html as a usercontrol with the category actions),
  • Detail
• CartController:
  • ShoppingCart (Index action)
  • Checkout
  • Payment
  • …
• UserController:
  • Index (show the possible options: Edit and Orders)
  • Edit
  • Orders
• Admin (Create a separate area for this because you will need multiple controllers to manage your site)
  • UsersController
  • OrdersController
  • ProductsController
  • SettingsController
  • MailingsController
  • …
