Folder structure for both server side and thick client web app

Question

Currently I am using Node.js for the backend and either extjs or backbone for the client and I am now completely confused on the folder structure.

Using express

Answer 1

Just put the whole /webapp under /public so you'll end creating, for instance, frontend's models under /public/webapp/models

appname
  |--models
  |  |--appmodel.js
  |--public
  |  |  |--webapp // extjs/backbone files
  |  |  |  |--models
  |  |  |  |--controllers
  |  |  |  |--css
  |  |  |  |--js
  |  |  |  |--img
  |  |  |  |--views
  |  |  |  |  |--appview.ejs
  |  |  |  |  |--extbasedview.ejs
  |--routes
  |  |--router.js
  |--app.js
