About
state in design
Set is the minimum set of variable that defines the state of an block or app.
State allows an application to change their output (console or UI) over time in response to user actions, network responses, and anything else.
State is generally reserved for interactivity.
State is generally what must be saved in order to be able to restore the visual or behavior of an application (or components) after restart.
