Magento 2: Custom theme extending Blank Theme and custom module?

Question

First post on here, I've started developing a custom theme extending the blank theme and I'm just curious about making a module.

I've started on a module and I've made some blocks & templates, and it all works well, however I'm not sure if I've done everything right.

My module is 100% for the custom theme and nothing else, the module is in:

app/code/VendorName_ModuleName

And I have my theme in:

app/design/frontend/VendorName_ModuleName

Is this correct? Or should I have my module inside my theme? So it'd be like:

app/design/frontend/VendorName_ModuleName/VendorName_ModuleName

I think I'm doing everything right so far, however I'm not sure. I've named the theme & the module the same names (as the module will just provide everything for the theme and nothing else, so I figured this works the best).

Thanks

Welcome!

Yeah what you've done is correct so far. For the styling:

Just think if someone else was to use your module, would they also want your styling?

If they would want your styling then also add that within app/code/VendorName_ModuleName. Otherwise it's better to NOT style the module within app/code and to style it within your theme.
