What is the component cost of each Workshop item in Fallout 4?

Solution 1:

Spoiler alert! This answer includes items that are not available when you start the game and are only unlocked later. I couldn't get the spoiler markdown tag to work with headings and lists, so the unlockable items are not hidden from view - you have been warned!

This is the complete contents of the workshop menu as I see it at the time of writing. There are some locked items which I haven't unlocked yet, so they aren't listed below. Please feel free to edit this answer to add things I missed.
