stateful-components

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Stateful-Components', in programming, remember things that have happened before. They keep 'state' — information like how a user has interacted with a program. Like when a website remembers what items you have in your shopping cart.

Examples in Different Contexts

For software engineering, stateful components within applications manage and persist state throughout the user's session, enhancing interactivity and user experience. A software engineer might explain, 'Stateful components are essential for creating dynamic applications that respond to user actions in real time.'

Practice Scenarios

Scenario:

We might want to make the robotic arm responsive to its previous positions during the manufacturing process. How might we achieve that?

Response:

That's a great idea. We could design a stateful component for the robotic arm that remembers and reacts to its previous positions.

Product

Scenario:

The data visualization tool needs the ability recall the user's previous setting. Could you implement that in the next iteration?

Response:

Sounds like a job for a stateful component. We can create one that saves and retrieves user settings for the data visualization tool.
