 * A helper class implementing the UI component ({@link module:ui/view~View view}) factory.
 *
 * It allows functions producing specific UI components to be registered under their unique names
 * in the factory. A registered component can be then instantiated by providing its name.
 * Note that the names are case insensitive.
 *
 * ```ts
 * // The editor provides localization tools for the factory.
 * const factory = new ComponentFactory( editor );
 *
 * factory.add( 'foo', locale => new FooView( locale ) );
 * factory.add( 'bar', locale => new BarView( locale ) );
 *
 * // An instance of FooView.
 * const fooInstance = factory.create( 'foo' );
 *
 * // Names are case insensitive so this is also allowed:
 * const barInstance = factory.create( 'Bar' );
 * ```
 *
 * The {@link module:core/editor/editor~Editor#locale editor locale} is passed to the factory
 * function when {@link module:ui/componentfactory~ComponentFactory#create} is called.
