Are both 'views' and 'templates' directory necessary?

[brylie]

The 'views' and 'templates directories serve nearly the same function, and may confuse developers having both in the same project. I.e. most or all of the meteor boilerplate projects choose either views or templates, but not both. What is the purpose of having both directories, and how might it be beneficial to provide only one?

I still don't understand what did you mean templates and views. Do you mean like views/somethings/index.js and views/something/index.html?

[brylie]

I was just confused by having both folders.

[radiegtya]

oh you mean templates folders and views folder. maybe we can simply rename it using "theme". :)
but don't forget also renaming the header, footer, etc thing inside those folder with prefix theme not template

[brylie]

Alright. Thanks for your response. It is probably alright how things are currently, as I was just confused.

btw I am also confused sometime, it was reasonable. and I think change it will be good. Just look at the reference famous frameworks like RAILS, django, n Laravel and simply following their naming convention.
