Global components are such components that are shared across multiple different components or views.
- For example there's a `Button` component that is used in both `ConnectDevice` and `AccountSend`. `ConnectDevice` and `AccountSend` are both placed accross different views so the `Button` component they're both using must be stored in the global `components` folder.
### **Naming & structure convention**
Each component has it's own folder. Name of the folder is same as is the name of the component (camel case and first letter is capitalized, e.g.: *MyComponent*).
If you want to create multiple components of the same type you should put them into a common folder with a lowercase name like this `views/components/type/MyComponent`.
- For example there are different types of modals like `confirm` or `device`.
Because the `confirm` and `device` modals are subtypes of modal the folder structure looks like this
```
modals/confirm/Address
modals/confirm/SignTx
modals/device/Duplicate
```
Where `Address`, `SignTx` and `Duplicate` are the actual modal components.
Inside each component's folder is `index.js` file containing the actual component's code with following export at the end of the file `export default ComponentName;`
There's only one render function per component's index file. If you need more renders you should probably create new component.
Each component may contain other components in its own `components/` folder. Component's components may contain another components etc.
## View
The difference between `view` and `component` is rather semantical then technical.
From the React's standpoint a view is just another component. So when is component a regular component and when is it a view?
View components basically copy router structure and are composed either from view's own components or global components.
### **Naming & structure convention**
Both naming and structure conventions are similar to components conventions.
Each view has its own folder in `views/` folder. Name of this folder is same as is the view's name (camel case and first letter is capitalized, e.g.: *MyView*).
Inside the view's folder is always an `index.js` file containing view's code itself.
View may contain own components inside view's folder - in the `components/` folder. One of the differences between a component and a view is that view can have another views. Of course those views may have their own components and views, etc.
- For example there's a `Landing` component that is displayed if no device is detected. This view contains its own components in a `Landing/components/` folder. These components are then used exclusively in `Landing/index.js` and together compose different versions of the `Landing` view.
<!-- If you aren't sure whether you should create component or view follow this discussion
- If the route has following structure `/nameA/nameB/...` then `nameA` is probably a view and `nameB` is its subview
- If the route has following structure `/nameA/:parameter/nameB/...` then `nameA` is a view
