Components
Reusable building blocks in software that handle specific functions and can be combined to build complete applications.
What are Components?
Components are self-contained pieces of code that handle a specific part of your application's UI or functionality.
Think of them like LEGO blocks. Each component does one thing well (a button, a form, a navigation bar) and can be reused across your app without rewriting code.
Most modern frameworks like React, Vue, and Svelte are built around components. You write a component once, then drop it anywhere you need it. Change it in one place, and it updates everywhere.
Components can be as simple as a single button or as complex as an entire checkout flow. The key is they're isolated, testable, and composable.
