Super nice article. Congrats. Succinct but well explained how decoupling should work in an application design.
The question I came up after reading was. You've exemplified how a module API exports its entry point, or the "main" component. However, a module can be built by smaller and isolated components. For instance, the Dashboard module may be an aggregation of a component exported by Games and Users module. If we agree on that, how would you suggest a Module exports its smaller components? Via the entry point API or directly from the inner component path?
Sorry for the delay, I took a small hiatus after writing this.
That is a good question.
On the one hand, I like to keep private sub-components of a module in the ModuleName\components folder.
But once a component becomes used in multiple places, I usually pull it up to the root components\ folder (and import from my "Components/MyComponent" alias).
Another option would be to change the signature of the modules export to have a default (which would be our contract) and named exports for internal component sharing.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Hey, Jack!

Best! :)
