The case for "Update Component" Action

[poirazis]

The current way of interacting with components and changing properties of them, is reactive.
We have to set a State variable, and then using a Conditional UI rule act accordingly.
This is a very useful feature.

Now, i suggest there should also be an active way, via an Action.

Scenario :
Button -> OnClick
"Update Component" Action

• Set Icon to "loading"

• Set container height to 500px

• Set Button to disabled.

• Set Image Custom CSS to " ... "

To achieve the same result, using the reactive approach, would take setting a State variable and then 4 Conditional UI rules on 4 different Components. Which makes it complicated to maintain later and keep track of this logic.

With the active approach , it would take 1 Action, with 4 parameters easy to understand and maintain.

Thoughts ?
