VF Components Insights

What is VF Components?

VF Components, short for Visualforce Components, are reusable pieces of user interface elements that developers can create and use within their Salesforce Visualforce pages. They encapsulate specific functionality and presentation logic, allowing for modular development and consistent UI design across multiple pages. They are often used to create custom input fields, data displays, or interactive elements that enhance the user experience within the Salesforce platform. However, they are being replaced by Lightning Web Components (LWC) due to better performance and standards-compliance.
