A component is a collection of related files, housed within the unified file system, that fulfills a specific function in building a Hugo website. These components are categorized into seven types: archetypes, assets, content, data, templates, translation tables, and static files, and can be defined within the project or provided by modules.

Each component has a dedicated directory within the unified file system:
