When building applications, you need to create interfaces that interact with your end-users, and in this process, you might need to repeat a set of controls such as headers, menus, loaders, etc. This task can be tedious as it slows down development when a new change is needed.
In this chapter, we will learn how to speed up the application-building process using components. These elements allow the creation of small building blocks that focus on a specific task by encapsulating a set of controls to be reused across your application. You will also learn how to create custom connectors in your environments to connect to data sources using tools your developers already use, such...
