Compound Component

Definitions

1. A component pattern in which several related child components work together under a shared parent and context to form one higher-level widget. Compound components let developers compose flexible interfaces while still preserving internal coordination and consistent behavior.

   In plain English: A component pattern where several coordinated child components form one larger widget.

   Example: "The tabs widget used a compound component pattern so `Tabs`, `TabList`, `Tab`, and `TabPanel` could be arranged declaratively while sharing one state model."
