Component Registry

Definitions

1. A centralized store or lookup mechanism that records available components, often keyed by name, type, or metadata so they can be discovered and instantiated dynamically. Component registries are common in plugin systems, design systems, editors, and low-code platforms.

   In plain English: A centralized lookup of available components.

   Example: "The dashboard renderer used a component registry to map each widget type from configuration into the correct runtime implementation."
