Inside each container folder, should have these files:

index.js      # Module that will be exported
reducer.js    # Redux reducer for that container
actions.js    # Redux actions for container's reducer
constants.js  # Constants definitions for better maintenance

sagas.js      # When start using redux-saga
selectors.js  # When start using Reselect

Components

Components are dumb React components, they have no logic, nor reducers or sagas.

Containers

Are called Containers, smart React components, that contains logic and/or reducers and/or sagas

Styles

Styles are mostly handled by styled-components/native that mimics CSS attributes, converting to React StyleSheet.

Most dumb components are built using styled-components/native

Global Styles

Since React StyleSheets can be treated as JavaScript Objects, extend global-styles.js into your components/containers styles.js files, so you can inherit globally defined styles. Helps keeping consistancy throughout the application.
