Re-explain

@State is a property wrapper for managing local, private state within a view. It should be used for simple value types that are owned and managed by the view itself.
Key characteristics:

  • Local: State belongs to the view
  • Private: Should be marked private
  • Value Types: Works with structs, enums, and basic types
  • Automatic UI Updates: SwiftUI automatically redraws the view when state changes
struct ToggleView: View {
    @State private var isOn = false
    var body: some View {
        Toggle("Switch", isOn: $isOn)
    }
}
