Things I want to know more about
1.What is a component? A component is a modular, portable, replaceable, and reusable set of well-defined functionality that encapsulates its implementation and exporting it as a higher-level interface.
A component is a software object, intended to interact with other components, encapsulating certain functionality or a set of functionalities. It has an obviously defined interface and conforms to a recommended behavior common to all components within an architecture.
2.What are the charactistics of a component?
- Reusability
- Components are usually designed to be reused in different situations in different applications However, some components may be designed for a specific task.
- Replaceable
- Components may be freely substituted with other similar components.
- Not context specific
- Components are designed to operate in different environments and contexts.
- Extensible
- A component can be extended from existing components to provide new behavior.
- Encapsulated
- A component depicts the interfaces, which allow the caller to use its functionality, and do not expose details of the internal processes or any internal variables or state.
- Independent
- Components are designed to have minimal dependencies on other components.
3.What are the advantages of using component based architecture?
- Ease of deployment
- As new compatible versions become available, it is easier to replace existing versions with no impact on the other components or the system as a whole.
- Reduced cost
- The use of third-party components allows you to spread the cost of development and maintenance.
- Ease of development
- Components implement well-known interfaces to provide defined functionality, allowing development without impacting other parts of the system.
- Reusable
- The use of reusable components means that they can be used to spread the development and maintenance cost across several applications or systems.
- Modification of technical complexity
- A component modifies the complexity through the use of a component container and its services.
- Reliability
- The overall system reliability increases since the reliability of each individual component enhances the reliability of the whole system via reuse.
- System maintenance and evolution
- Easy to change and update the implementation without affecting the rest of the system.
- Independent
- Independency and flexible connectivity of components. Independent development of components by different group in parallel. Productivity for the software development and future software development.
## What is props short for? “Props” is a special keyword in React, which stands for properties and is being used for passing data from one component to another.
How are props used in React?
- Firstly, define an attribute and its value(data)
- Then pass it to child component(s) by using Props
- Finally, render the Props Data
What is the flow of props?
data with props are being passed in a uni-directional flow. (one way from parent to child)
