Layout States
Layout States are used to apply Modifiers when certain conditions defined by the State pass. They are the if-else conditionals in Flex.
States can be used to show or hide spoiler tags, change the style of the author if they are a Reddit moderator, change the color of the score if the user upvoted the post, etc.
Default & Condition States
The first, top-most state of a Component is the Default State. Default States are always active, meaning their Modifiers are always applied. Use this state to set up the baseline of how the content should usually look.
The remaining states are Condition States. Condition States are dormant and do not apply any Modifiers. When the conditions defined by the State pass, they become active and apply their Modifiers on top of of the Default State, taking precendence and overriding any Modifiers also declared in the Default State.
Condition States are evaluated from top to bottom. Evaluation stops when the first Condition State passes.
