UI Components

Publishes content in a specific format

UI Components are the fundamental building blocks of your app's user interface. They define reusable, modular elements that can be assembled to create complex, interactive layouts.

These components encapsulate both visual design and functionality, ensuring consistency across the platform while allowing for flexibility and customization. UI Components streamline development, improve user experience, and maintain a cohesive look and feel throughout your application.
