What folder name should I choose for styles/scripts?

Question

Web development

There are source files (jade/.styl/.scss) - they are compiled, minified and placed in a folder - what is the best name for it?
There are options:

• build
  
• assets
  
• dist
  

What variant of the name is best practice?

Answer 1

Styleguides in the vast majority of cases are determined not by the language, but by the framework / library on which you write. There are, of course, the most common naming conventions in the language, but usually the conventions adopted in your host ecosystem either match or take precedence.
You would at least indicate what language / framework you are talking about. If we talk about compiled asset files, then the directory should (but is not required to) be called assets, respectively, and inside it should be broken by versions (hashes). But if we talk about ordinary public files, then, as I said, look in your framework. Most often it is public. And there, as you wish. The main thing is to be clear.
