I was recently asked by a recruiter if i knew component development with javascript. Since i was hearing this for the first time, i said i had no idea regarding it. I google it and got very few results which did not clear the exact meaning.So what is component development mean with regard to javascript? Is it a new concept? Is it like creating plugins? Any pointers or examples would be really helpful
What do you mean by Javascript component development?
javascript
The idea behind components is to make reusable pieces of code similar to plugins, like Date Pickers, Sliders and so on. They are similar as functionality, but the difference is that there is a common ground to make the integration easier. Just like jQuery plugin platform, but you don't depend on jQuery. In fact, every component can require different versions of jQuery. Yes, you've guessed it already, jQuery is a component too.Here is the GitHub page where you can find these components: https://github.com/componentThere is also a registry for them for easier retrieval: https://www.npmjs.org/package/component
