1 Drupal Components are independent libraries that do not depend on the rest of
2 Drupal in order to function.
4 Components MAY depend on other Drupal Components or external libraries/packages,
5 but MUST NOT depend on any other Drupal code.
7 In other words, only dependencies that can be specified in a composer.json file
8 of the Component are acceptable dependencies. Every Drupal Component presents a
9 valid dependency, because it is assumed to contain a composer.json file (even
10 if it may not exist yet).
12 Each Component should be in its own namespace, and should be as self-contained
13 as possible. It should be possible to split a Component off to its own
14 repository and use as a stand-alone library, independently of Drupal.
