Is it okay to have a lot of React components in a small project?

Question

React

Hello. I'm currently learning React. Friends suggested the "React + Redux - Professional Development" course on udemy. But already on the second project, I noticed that there are more and more components ( github ). But the project itself is not big. Is it normal that there are so many components on such a small project and you need to make a separate directory and file for each? And, if it's not difficult, drop the snare on some good (in terms of writing code) React projects to know how a real project should look like

Answer 1

There is no right answer, just like the question is extremely relative. Everyone has a different understanding of a "small" project. Also, do not forget that React is a library with a component approach. Let's take the Google home page for example. There could be such "large" components as "header" and "main" which in turn consist of many other components, such as: button / field / form / link and all this can be broken into smaller components as much as you like, until reach component level == tag(html).
In this case, the question is already how appropriate it is within the framework of a particular project. How small they should be depends on how reusable they should be.
Zs . I apologize if water/tautology

Answer 2

Yes.
"Many" means hundreds.
And according to your link less than 10 - with a high probability it is even simplified there for an example.
