Vue.js components capitalized

Question

is there a specific reason for Vue.js components being capitalized?

I see this a lot but I don't see a valid reason for why there are written this way. Even the cli repositories have this for components.

Answer 1

It's just a convention to differentiate between the component constructor/definition (capitalised) and the component instances.

It's a common convention that classes are capitalised but instances of a class are not:

const user = new User()
