Protractor Project Structure

The Simple answer is You cannot generalize.

We will see the protractor project folder structure without any project-specific customization. I have given project structures in steps, so you can choose from it when it fulfills your requirement.

Basic Protractor project

Protractor API : This is actual protractor package which contains all the required functionalities
PO : All the required page objects will be stored in PO files; it is a directory inside which you can store page objects of different pages.
Lib : Repeated steps will be created into functions, and those are stored under the Lib folder
Specs : All the test cases are stored in different files and then put into Spec files.
