Confusion Between Vue.js Components and Views: Seeking Guidance for Thesis Project

[chanezAMK]

Hello,I'm new to Vue.js and currently diving into using Vue.js router for my thesis project. However, I'm a bit confused about the terms "component" and "view". Could anyone help clarify this distinction? Additionally, if you have any tips or best practices for structuring a project with Vue.js router, I would greatly appreciate it!

Views are normal Vue components, the term just indicates how those components are used.

It is used to refer to components used as route components. i.e. Components that are used in the component or components options of a route config. These are the components rendered using <RouterView>.

You may encounter projects with a views folder or with components that have names ending in View. These can be useful conventions, but the views themselves are still just components.

You might also encounter the term 'page' being used to mean the same thing as 'view'. Though context matters, as both 'view' and 'page' could be used to mean other things. e.g. View as in MVC and page as in webpage.
