Subject: [PATCH] Add render_component helper method to Collection class

- Introduced a new async method `render_component` in the Collection class to facilitate rendering components within the collection scope.
- This method enhances the modularity and reusability of the rendering logic, allowing for better integration of components in the collection context.
