State
Noun · Development
Definitions
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."
