Reusable Components

Reusability is not just for component libraries

When you think of "reusability", you probably think of component libraries — a collection of components like buttons and sliders and checkboxes, that will be used dozens or hundreds of times throughout a single application.

But reusability is also important for the more custom made components in your application.

Reusing a component even two or three times saves a lot of effort and makes you more effective.

Plus, once you understand reusability more deeply you'll start to see opportunities for applying it all over your codebase.

This course isn't like any other course.

Most courses teach you syntax and how the API works. Things that you can probably learn on your own by reading the docs (if you have the time for that).

This course focuses on teaching you insights.

On getting you to think differently about your code, and understand how it works in a totally new way.

I spent months developing a framework for thinking about reusability in Vue

I drew on my years of experience building highly reusable components and component libraries, and came up with the 6 Levels of Reusability that this course is based on.

This framework is necessary for understanding reusability deeply. It gives us a way to talk about these concepts in a very organized and detailed way.

But these aren't laws of the universe.

I invented this framework in order to teach reusability to you. Perhaps there is a 7th level that I missed?

No fluff, no filler. Only what you need to master reusability

I hate wasting your time.

So I spent months agonizing over the outline, reworking it over and over again to make sure it only included what was absolutely necessary for you to master reusability.

In fact, I started to record the first few videos of this course, only to realize it wasn't good enough yet. So I went back again, reworking the course and how it flowed to make sure it was as good as it could be.

Your time is valuable — finish it in only two weeks of lunch breaks (or less)

This course isn't terribly long — it only takes a few key insights to get a whole lot better at writing reusable components.

So you can easily finish this course in 30 minutes a day for two weeks.

Or, if you're really ambitious, go through it in a single day.

(Although I would recommend taking more time with it, so that these concepts have a chance to really sink in)

The 6 Levels of Reusability

It's incredibly difficult to talk about concepts without first giving them names.

So in order to create this course, I first had to invent a way of talking about reusability in components.

Here are the six levels of reusability:

1. Templating — Reusing code by wrapping it up inside of a component

2. Configuration — Using configuration props to allow for varying behaviour

3. Adaptability — Allowing components to become future-proof

4. Inversion — Letting other components control the process

5. Extension — Using reusability throughout our component

6. Nesting — Creating powerful hierarchies of components
