I am about to create a Vue.js project and i use the smart/dumb pattern for my ui components. In my dumb components I have already the input, buttons and etc..., but in my smart components I am curios if it is really necessary to create a component if i will use that only in one page. For example. login-form component, then i will use that only in login page. So, ⤵️
My first question, is it really necessary to create a component for that ?
Second question, and when will i gonna create a smart components?
Moving code to another components makes code of initial component more readable. Even if you are going to use that new components only once.
Usually smart components - are pages that fetch or simply share some data to its children.

I'm new to Nuxt and Vue in general, so I'm not sure, what would be the best solution for this use case.
I want to change the text (like "Home", "Settings", "Favourites" etc.) inside my Header.vue (always fixed on top of the page) from another component. like Favourites.vue for example.
Sometimes I want to hide the header completely or hide the title and display buttons instead,
so I need to pass more props than just the title.
I tried using different layouts, but that breaks the animation transitions (I haven't found the solution for this yet), but I think it's still better to have control from the page in what I'm passing into this component.
Should I pass props from Page.vue to parent and read it from there in Header.vue component?
Should I use Vuex to pass this through the store and update it when the route changes? Or is that too complex for this use case?
Maybe there's a simpler solution that I'm not aware of.
Folder structure:
/components
├──Header.vue
└──Nav.vue
/pages
├──Index.vue
├──Profile.vue
├──Settings.vue
└──Favourites.vue
Vuex is the answer here— don’t worry about the 'simple' use case. As soon as you notice you’re creating data that other components may rely on (is the header visible on this page? Is the text different? etc) it’s a good idea to move into Vuex and maintain a single source of truth.
Your app may seem simple to begin with, but it’ll inevitably grow and at that point you’ll appreciate having a single source of truth vs. trying to pass things between components via props.
Nuxt also makes implementing Vuex very straight forward. No doubt you’re capable of pulling up the docs!
I have an application in vue with typescript. I saw when I use import to load component then I got component-bundle with all the code of component inside.
I wonder if should I do this for every component I want to load, for example: I have app.vue inside I have toolbar.vue and drawer.vue. in my router components I have others vue components.
What I'm afraid that gonna happened is app.js is loaded then components inside the route definition(500k), then I get the toolbar component (1.5mb). and I'll get flashing screen weird.
So, should I use splitting bundle for every component in my app?
You can do code splitting if you are not expecting that particular component to be re-used for every page.
Take for example the Header and Footer component. Since they will be used in almost all of the pages, there is no reason to code split as you want it to be loaded along with the bundle for all pages.
Take for example you have a component where it has a Blog Widget. This component will only load in the /blog page. Therefore, this is a good use case to be using code splitting as you do not need the Blog Widget to be bundled in other pages except in the /blog page.
I can only provide you with a generic answer and using the Header and Footer components are the best way to express different use cases. As for the rest of the components, you have to decide for yourself if it is worth to code split or not.
I get all the concept of components but one thing I am stuck at is - when to create a component? In other words, what part of the page should be a component?

Taking above image as example, what I think is progress bar can be one component and form, quotes list, blue alert can be second component.
Please advise as necessary.
There can be many reasons for creating components, such as when you need to create a reusable element, splitting the code to make it easier to understand and reduce code complexity.
In your case 1. you can put both of the sections into a single component or you can put them into separate components if you want to reuse them somewhere. 2. if your code is too much and you want to make it simpler to understand in that case you can also create separate components.
I'm being using Vue.js for some months and it's have been reminding the webforms paradigm, that you used components to make a website or webapp, but with Vue.js it's a pleasure to create such things and not a whole nightmare it was with webforms.
Well, my question is if it's possible making nested components just to define some behavior on it's parent on a markup-way. Example:
<grid prop1="somevalue" prop2="somevalue">
<grid-column prop1="somevalue" prop2="somevalue">
<filter-options prop1="somevalue" prop2="somevalue">
</filter-options>
</grid-column>
</grid>
So, a particular grid component have column and the column hava a filter options.
Don't want to depend stricty to the javascript code.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Just to add that the childs-component must not have a template. They are just to pass some props to the parent.
To answer your question
if it's possible making nested components just to define some behavior on it's parent on a markup-way
And to keep in mind your request:
Don't want to depend strictly to the JavaScript code.
The answer is no, it is not possible. Components underneath the parent can only push (emit) data to the parent after the DOM loads. So you would need to push a value that would trigger some JavaScript if you wanted to alter the html. Using JavaScript would be the only method though.
To achieve what you are asking I think it makes a lot more sense to use props on the parent component. You have a lot more flexibility and you can make it very versatile.
It's easy to get a reference to navigator in the renderScene function, so calling navigator.push(newRoute) is simple when responding to an event that happens from within the JSX tree.
In my case, though, I want to call navigator.push(newRoute) from an external event. My app signs the user in with Google and fires an event when the sign-in is complete, and I want to navigate to a new route in that case.
How can I get a reference to the navigator? Is there any way to get it besides as a parameter to renderScene?
You can get the navigator through refs property: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/more-about-refs.html. It's part of react (not specific to react native). It's not obvious from the react-native docs that there is a number of 'react' features that can be used in react-native, so i'd really advise to take a close look at react in general.
Note however, there is a good reason Facebook does not mention refs explicitly and loudly. Refs is really not a "go-to" way of accessing component. Your case might be of course different, but it's likely that the Google sign-up is not in-fact "external". It might actually be part of one of the components in the hierarchy tree above the navigator (in which case you can pass the state change down the tree).
Quoting from the summary of the "More about refs" document above:
If you have not programmed several apps with React, your first
inclination is usually going to be to try to use refs to "make things
happen" in your app. If this is the case, take a moment and think more
critically about where state should be owned in the component
hierarchy. Often, it becomes clear that the proper place to "own" that
state is at a higher level in the hierarchy. Placing the state there
often eliminates any desire to use refs to "make things happen" –
instead, the data flow will usually accomplish your goal.
Again - your case might be different and using refs might be perfectly justified, but if you are tempted (for example) to separate out all the Google-related stuff to separate object and if that makes the sign-up "external" - think twice. React really encourages putting all things related to a "component" logic in one place (the component) - even if that includes various technologies and external APIs.
