- The management of the state of one or more user interface controls such as text fields, buttons, checkboxes, etc. in a graphical user interface, when the state of one UI control depends on the state of other UI controls. For example, a state-managed UI control such as a button will be in an enabled state when input fields have valid input values, and the button will be in a disabled state when the input fields are empty or have invalid values. As applications grow, this can end up becoming one of the most complex development problems. To manage state and the knowledge of an application’s inputs across data flows, web application frameworks as well as libraries offer different solutions. ← Wikipedia
