What are the differences between Vue.js plugins and components?

Vue.js plugins are used to add global functionality to Vue applications, while components are reusable UI elements.

Can you give me an example of a plugin?

Sure! An example of a plugin is Vue Router, which helps manage navigation in a Vue application.

And what about components? How do I create one?

To create a component, you define a Vue instance with a template, script, and style, then register it in your app.

When should I use a plugin instead of a component?

Use plugins for functionality that needs to be shared across multiple components, and components for specific UI elements.
