+# Conditional rendering

+- Prefer **decomposition over conditionals**: a template with several `v-if` / `v-else-if` / ternary branches should become a thin parent that switches between child components, not one growing template.
+- Keep the condition in the parent; children receive resolved props.
+- No nested ternaries in templates. For loading / empty / error, use dedicated `EmptyState` / `ErrorState` components (or `<component :is>`).
+- A `variant` / `mode` prop that renders two unrelated layouts is **two** components, not one.
