Building a Frontend User Interface

I am working with a jQuery-based theme that features an unconventional project directory layout. As an Angular2 developer, I find this structure quite unfamiliar and would like to know which tool or process was used to generate it. Could someone guide me on how to start a fresh project with a comparable folder organization?

projectSrc
   moduleScripts
   styleFiles
   systemConfig.json
   taskManager.js
   dependencyList.json
   serverMain.js
   vendorSettings.json
   bundlerRegistry.js

projectOut
   resources
   *.html pages

hey, maybe its a custom cli built in-house using unique build scripts instead of typical tools. have u checked old commit logs for clues? i wonder if there’s a hidden note or comment that might unravel its origin?

The structure you described is typical of projects that use a custom scaffolding tool rather than a framework-specific CLI. In my experience, combinations of task runners and module bundlers like Grunt or Gulp were used to generate these types of layouts. A Yeoman generator could have been adapted to produce such a directory organization. Starting a project with such a generator lets you define nonstandard folder names and locations, which can be essential when integrating with legacy systems or unconventional build processes.

hey, ive seen similar folder setups via custom webpack scripts. check package.json or config files for build commands. sometimes it’s not a standard cli but a custom tool made for specific needs. hope that helps!

In similar cases, investigating the configuration files can provide insights into the build process employed. In my experience, unconventional directory structures are often the result of custom scaffolding tools that combine several Node.js-based utilities. A practical approach is to analyze configuration files such as systemConfig.json and dependencyList.json to understand how the project is assembled. This may indicate proprietary scripts or adapted versions of existing generators like Yeoman. Reviewing project history and documentation might be the key to replicating a comparable setup for a fresh project.

hey, u could try looking into custom cli tools like plop.js integrated with gulp. config files often hide clues about the build script. it might be a custom node script vibe, so check npm scripts for hidden tasks that setup the folders.
