What is Component States?

The different visual appearances a component can have based on user interaction or context, such as default, hover, active, focus, disabled, and error states.

Why It Matters

Complete state coverage is essential for production-ready components. Each state communicates something to users: hover confirms interactivity, focus shows keyboard navigation position, disabled indicates unavailability. Missing states force developers to improvise, leading to inconsistent implementations.

Examples

1

Button states: Default, Hover, Active/Pressed, Focus, Disabled, Loading.

2

Input states: Empty, Filled, Focus, Error, Disabled, Read-only.

3

Checkbox states: Unchecked, Checked, Indeterminate, each with Default/Hover/Focus/Disabled sub-states.

How BiblioKit Helps

StateBuilder auto-generates interaction states for your components, ensuring complete state coverage without manual duplication.
