Wording

caution

This document is under construction

When talking about concepts, it is nessesary to get the wording right. In the documentation the following wording is used:

package: A package is an npm-package. This means a folder, containing a package.json as well as a node_modules folder. A package kann be released to npm.

module: A module is a "typescript"-file, containing typescript code (=a typescript module)

building-block: A building block is an abstract term for a generic component (not UI-Component) of a piece of software. In a react world, a component may actually a building block, but also hooks or angular services could be building blocks. Comming from a redux-perspective, actions or reducer could also form building-blocks.

feature-type: A feature-type is just abstract a collection of building-blocks.
