Component Interface

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. The defined contract through which a component is used, including its inputs, outputs, methods, events, and expected lifecycle. A clean component interface lets other parts of the system depend on behavior without needing to know internal implementation details.

    In plain English: The contract that defines how a component is used and interacted with.

    Example: "The refactor succeeded because the component interface stayed stable even while the rendering logic and internal state handling changed completely."
