What Are Components?
A component is a modular unit of software that encapsulates specific functionality. Components are designed to be reusable, maintainable, and independent building blocks within a larger system.
Key Characteristics of Components
- Reusability: Components can be reused across different projects or systems.
- Maintainability: Components are self-contained and can be updated or replaced without affecting other parts of the system.
Examples of Components
- Libraries: Collections of pre-built functions or classes that provide specific functionality (e.g., math libraries, UI components).
- Modules: Segments of code that perform a specific task (e.g., authentication module, payment processing module).
- Services: Standalone components that provide specific services (e.g., email service, logging service).
Benefits of Using Components
- Efficiency: Components save development time by avoiding reinventing the wheel.
- Consistency: Reusable components ensure consistent behavior across the system.
- Scalability: Components allow systems to grow by adding or replacing parts.
Additional Sources of Information
