Component Schema

Component Schema provides an API for producing theme-level components.

Background and use case

Resources like Component Based Development by Mario Hernandez make a strong case and provide solid models for building Drupal themes using reusable components.

Component Schema provides a schema-based approach to defining and working with components.

The Bulma Components module is built on Component Schema and provides the fullest example of how to write a module or theme with Component Schema integration.
