State

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. The current set of data values that determine a program's behavior and UI at any given moment, managed locally in components, globally in stores, or on the server.

    In plain English: All the data your app is keeping track of right now — what the user typed, which tab is open, what came back from the API.

    Example: "When the state updates, React re-renders only the components that depend on the changed values."
