The Complete Guide to Creating Forge Components
Question

Check out the Complete Guide to Creating Components!


This topic guides you through all the steps required to create a component in OutSystems. It contains recommendations, best practices, and information for common situations.


What's a component?

Components are one of the most important aspects of modern visual programming platforms. These platforms enable reusability of code and repositories of component libraries, allowing developers to build high-quality app components and to share them with others, boosting application development time and code fragmentation.


p.s. Components, and Forge Components are the same thing. Some people here call them different things. (plugins, components...) Choose your own poison!

okay, thank you sir. Everytime, i hear about "component", my mental image goes to an electronic component, like "resistor" and i am thinking in this case, component is a widget.
