# Component file structure
## Split-file pattern (default)
Anything in `app/components/controls/**` and `app/components/utility/**` uses
a **4-file split**, one folder per component:
```
app/components/controls/<Name>/
<Name>.types.ts // Public Props + internal ViewProps
<Name>.view.tsx // "use client"; pure render; exports memo(view)
<Name>.container.tsx // "use client"; memo; prop normalization & logic
index.tsx // re-exports default + public types
```
**Container** (`<Name>.container.tsx`):
- Marked `"use client"`.
- Receives `<Name>Props`; normalizes PascalCase enums via
`lib/propNormalization.ts`; computes derived state (clamps, ids, bounds).
- Renders `<<Name>View />` with already-normalized `<Name>ViewProps`.
- Default export: `memo(<Name>Container)` with `.displayName = "<Name>"`.
**View** (`<Name>.view.tsx`):
- Marked `"use client"`.
- Pure render of `<Name>ViewProps`. No prop normalization, no data fetching,
no derived business logic.
- Default export: `memo(<Name>View)` with
`.displayName = "<Name>View"`.
**Types** (`<Name>.types.ts`):
- Export `<Name>Props` (consumer-facing, accepts PascalCase + lowercase).
- Export `<Name>ViewProps` (already-normalized shape the view consumes).
- Export any locally-defined value types (`<Name>SizeValue`, etc.).
**Index** (`index.tsx`):
```typescript
export { default } from "./<Name>.container";
export type { <Name>Props } from "./<Name>.types";
```
## Single-file pattern (exception)
`app/components/buttons/*.tsx` and other trivially-presentational components
can stay as a single file when they have **no enum prop normalization and no
derived state** (e.g. `Button.tsx`, `InlineTextButton.tsx`). If you find
yourself adding state, enum normalization, or more than a handful of props,
promote it to the split pattern.
## Wrapper / group components
Related composites live in a **sibling folder**, not inside the base
component's folder — mirror `CheckboxGroup/` ↔ `Checkbox/`,
`IncrementerBlock/` ↔ `Incrementer/`, etc. Each gets its own 4-file split.
Consumers import from the folder's `index.tsx`.
