+# Automatic Global Registration of Base Components
+
+## Base Example
+
+Many of your components will be relatively generic, possibly only wrapping an element like an input or a button. We sometimes refer to these as [base components](../style-guide/#Base-component-names-strongly-recommended) and they tend to be used very frequently across your components.
+
+The result is that many components may include long lists of base components:
+
+```js
+import BaseButton from './BaseButton.vue'
+import BaseIcon from './BaseIcon.vue'
+import BaseInput from './BaseInput.vue'
+export default {
+  components: {
+    BaseButton,
+    BaseIcon,
+    BaseInput
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Just to support relatively little markup in a template:
+
+```html
+<BaseInput v-model="searchText" v-on:keydown.enter="search" />
+<BaseButton v-on:click="search">
+  <BaseIcon name="search" />
+</BaseButton>
+```
+
+Fortunately, if you're using Webpack (or [Vue CLI](https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli), which uses Webpack internally), you can use `require.context` to globally register only these very common base components. Here's an example of the code you might use to globally import base components in your app's entry file (e.g. `src/main.js`):
+
+```js
+import { createApp } from 'vue'
+import upperFirst from 'lodash/upperFirst'
+import camelCase from 'lodash/camelCase'
+import App from './App.vue'
+
+const app = createApp(App)
+
+const requireComponent = require.context(
+  // The relative path of the components folder
+  './components',
+  // Whether or not to look in subfolders
+  false,
+  // The regular expression used to match base component filenames
+  /Base[A-Z]\w+\.(vue|js)$/
+)
+
+requireComponent.keys().forEach(fileName => {
+  // Get component config
+  const componentConfig = requireComponent(fileName)
+
+  // Get PascalCase name of component
+  const componentName = upperFirst(
+    camelCase(
+      // Gets the file name regardless of folder depth
+      fileName
+        .split('/')
+        .pop()
+        .replace(/\.\w+$/, '')
+    )
+  )
+
+  app.component(
+    componentName,
+    // Look for the component options on `.default`, which will
+    // exist if the component was exported with `export default`,
+    // otherwise fall back to module's root.
+    componentConfig.default || componentConfig
+  )
+})
+
+app.mount('#app')
+```
