I've been a professional web developer for just over 10 years now. I'm currently the lead web development instructor at Better Coding Academy, and as part of what I do, I post videos on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/BetterCodingAcademy.

I was talking with one of my students, and he asked me this question regarding React:
Hmm...
What do you call the things that exist insidestate={}
Statelings?
It totally caught me off guard.
For those of you who don't know, the "proper" name is state variables, but personally I'm ever so slightly biased towards statelings.
What do you guys think? 😁

I've been calling them as:
For class components (CC), "state properties", for function components(FC), "states" as you can have one
statevariables in CC while multiple (via hooks) in CC.I will refer'em both as
state variablesfrom now on :)CompletelyuUnrelated but when ever i hear the word -ling I always thing of Ling Yao.
I've always just referred to those vars as state variables. Tho stateling would definitely turn some confused heads.
