The HTML IWC rendered for the example above (inside the page's content wrapper). Class names such as i807b63fc are generated per element for its scoped CSS.

Rendered HTML

<div class="iwc-page ipage" id="iwc-content">
  <div class="iwc-placeholder ie1d14929" aria-hidden="true">
  </div>
</div>

Data, conditions & styling

Conditional rendering: "visible": {"auth": "signed-in"}, {"roles": ["admin"]} or an expression such as "=product.stock > 0". Decided on the server: hidden elements are never sent.
Data binding: bind takes text from data (name, user.name, props.title, params.slug, state.cart.count); binds binds attributes. Containers become data-driven with data + item. See data binding.
Styling: className for your stylesheets, style for CSS in JSON, states for hover/focus/active, animation for entrance motion. See the style property reference.
Responsive behaviour: responsive applies CSS at or below a breakpoint ({"mobile": {"padding": "12px"}}); grids also take responsiveColumns.
