How to properly organize a product catalog in Bitrix?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Good afternoon. please advise on my question.
There is one type of info-block "Catalog of goods" in it 42 infoblocks.
Each type of goods has its own info block. (Laptops and phones for example)
And now the question is: How to do it right?
1. Create a file at the root for each block and output the catalog component there. (Pros: Small nesting. Cons: A bunch of files in the root)
2. Create a catalog folder, for example, and put all the files there (Pros: no files in the root. Cons: additional nesting)
Maybe you can somehow cut off 1 item, such as site.ru /catalog/phone turn into site.ru/phone Tell me
what other options are there and how to do it right?

Answer 1

One infoblock, sections and one component.
Regarding a bunch of properties: in fact, in the comments you have already been answered that you can configure the output both in the filter and in the product card, as well as in the admin panel ( https://dev.1c-bitrix.ru/learning/course/?COURSE_I... ) .
There is a more extreme option, if you move away from the standard admin panel and make your own add/remove pages, you can do this:
put all properties into one JSON property and then there will be no problems at all. Throw a page for adding / editing (it's not difficult to do). For filtering, you will need to raise additional READ-only tables (for each category), or raise the cache base in RAM (Redis for example), which will store property values ​​and record identifiers. This is such a crazy idea...
