Working with components in SolidJS

- [Instructor] Components are to web applications what a Lego blocks are to constructors. Modular pieces that you can assemble in various ways to create something larger. Components in SolidJS and many other frameworks are built using functions that return JSX elements. Observe these basic example of a SolidJS component. Embedding it within another component is as simple as writing it like any other HTML or JSX elements. The structure formed by nesting components is referred to as the component tree. Imagine this tree represents in your entire application, where each branch ends leaf is a distinct component. In our example, the component tree would look like this. But for a larger application, it can be far more intricate. Here's a more complex component tree. The beauty of components is that they are reusable, making your code modular and maintainable. However, SolidJS treats components differently from other frameworks.…
