 ## Switch
 
 ### Basic Usage
 
 ```tsx
-import { State, Switch } from 'asciitorium';
+import { State, Switch, Case, Default } from 'asciitorium';
 
-// State holding the component to display
-const currentView = new State<any>(DashboardComponent);
+const userRole = new State<string>('guest');
 
-<Switch component={currentView} />;
+<Switch condition={userRole}>
+  <Case when="admin" create={AdminPanel} />
+  <Case when="user" create={UserPanel} />
+  <Case when="guest" create={GuestPanel} />
+  <Default create={GuestPanel} />
+</Switch>;
 ```
 
-### Props
+### Props (Switch)

+| ----------- | -------------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| `condition` | `State<string> \| State<number>` | -       | State to match against Case values |
+| `width`     | `number \| 'fill'`               | -       | Component width                    |

 ### Common Patterns
 
-**Pattern 1: View Switching**
+**Pattern 1: Simple Conditional Rendering**
 
 ```tsx
-import { State, Switch, Button, Column } from 'asciitorium';
+import { State, Switch, Case, Default } from 'asciitorium';
 
-// Component classes/constructors
-class DashboardView extends Component {
-  /* ... */
-}
-class SettingsView extends Component {
-  /* ... */
-}
-class ProfileView extends Component {
-  /* ... */
-}
+// Function components
+const AdminPanel = () => <Column>Admin View</Column>;
+const UserPanel = () => <Column>User View</Column>;
+const GuestPanel = () => <Column>Guest View</Column>;
 
-const currentView = new State<any>(DashboardView);
+const userRole = new State<string>('guest');
 
 <Column>
-  <Button onClick={() => (currentView.value = DashboardView)}>Dashboard</Button>
-  <Button onClick={() => (currentView.value = SettingsView)}>Settings</Button>
-  <Button onClick={() => (currentView.value = ProfileView)}>Profile</Button>
-
-  <Switch component={currentView} width="fill" height="fill" />
+  <Button onClick={() => (userRole.value = 'admin')}>Admin</Button>
+  <Button onClick={() => (userRole.value = 'user')}>User</Button>
+  <Button onClick={() => (userRole.value = 'guest')}>Guest</Button>
+
+  <Switch condition={userRole} width="fill" height="fill">
+    <Case when="admin" create={AdminPanel} />
+    <Case when="user" create={UserPanel} />
+    <Case when="guest" create={GuestPanel} />
+    <Default create={GuestPanel} />
+  </Switch>
 </Column>;
 ```
 
-**Pattern 2: Dynamic Content with Select**
+**Pattern 2: Class Components with Props**
 
 ```tsx
-import { State, Select, Option, Switch } from 'asciitorium';
+import { State, Switch, Case, Component } from 'asciitorium';
 
-// Component map
-const pageMap: Record<string, any> = {
-  home: HomeComponent,
-  about: AboutComponent,
-  contact: ContactComponent,
-};
+class SettingsPanel extends Component {
+  constructor(props: { theme: string }) {
+    super(props);
+    // Use props.theme
+  }
+}
 
-const selectedKey = new State<string>('home');
-const selectedComponent = new State<any>(pageMap['home']);
+const currentView = new State<string>('settings');
 
-// Sync selected component with key
-selectedKey.subscribe((key) => {
-  selectedComponent.value = pageMap[key];
-});
+<Switch condition={currentView}>
+  <Case when="settings" create={SettingsPanel} with={{ theme: 'dark' }} />
+  <Case when="profile" create={ProfilePanel} />
+</Switch>;
+```
+
+**Pattern 3: Navigation with Select**
+
+```tsx
+import { State, Select, Option, Switch, Case } from 'asciitorium';
+
+const selectedPage = new State<string>('home');
 
 <Column>
-  <Select selected={selectedKey}>
+  <Select selected={selectedPage}>
     <Option value="home" label="Home" />
     <Option value="about" label="About" />
     <Option value="contact" label="Contact" />
   </Select>
 
-  <Switch component={selectedComponent} width="fill" height="fill" />
+  <Switch condition={selectedPage} width="fill" height="fill">
+    <Case when="home" create={HomePage} />
+    <Case when="about" create={AboutPage} />
+    <Case when="contact" create={ContactPage} />
+  </Switch>
 </Column>;
 ```
 
-**Pattern 3: Factory Functions**
-
-```tsx
-// Using factory functions instead of constructors
-const viewFactory = () => new CustomView({ customProp: 'value' });
-const currentView = new State<any>(viewFactory);
-
-<Switch component={currentView} />;
-```
-
-**Pattern 4: Component Instances**
+**Pattern 4: Numeric Conditions**
 
 ```tsx
-// Using pre-instantiated components
-const dashboard = new DashboardView({ width: 80 });
-const settings = new SettingsView({ width: 80 });
-
-const currentView = new State<Component>(dashboard);
+const level = new State<number>(1);
 
-<Button onClick={() => currentView.value = settings}>Switch to Settings</Button>
-<Switch component={currentView} />
+<Switch condition={level}>
+  <Case when={1} create={Level1} />
+  <Case when={2} create={Level2} />
+  <Case when={3} create={Level3} />
+  <Default create={CompletionScreen} />
+</Switch>;
 ```
 
 ### Common Mistakes
 
-❌ **WRONG** - Not using State
+❌ **WRONG** - Using JSX children
 
 ```tsx
-<Switch component={MyComponent} /> // NO! component must be a State
+<Switch condition={role}>
+  <Case when="admin">
+    <AdminPanel /> {/* Components persist in memory! */}
+  </Case>
+</Switch>
 ```
 
-✅ **CORRECT** - Using State
+✅ **CORRECT** - Using create prop
 
 ```tsx
-const view = new State(MyComponent);
-<Switch component={view} />;
+<Switch condition={role}>
+  <Case when="admin" create={AdminPanel} />
+</Switch>
 ```
 
-❌ **WRONG** - Trying to pass component as string
+❌ **WRONG** - Missing Default fallback
 
 ```tsx
-const view = new State<string>('DashboardComponent'); // NO! Must be actual component
-<Switch component={view} />;
+<Switch condition={status}>
+  <Case when="loading" create={Spinner} />
+  {/* No fallback - nothing shows if status is unknown */}
+</Switch>
 ```
 
-✅ **CORRECT** - Using actual component reference
+✅ **CORRECT** - Including Default
 
 ```tsx
-const view = new State<any>(DashboardComponent); // Component constructor
-<Switch component={view} />;
+<Switch condition={status}>
+  <Case when="loading" create={Spinner} />
+  <Default create={ErrorMessage} />
+</Switch>

 ## Understanding "auto" vs Omitting Props
 
-**Key Concept:** In ASCIITORIUM, omitting `width` or `height` props is the same as setting them to `undefined` or `"auto"`.
+**Key Concept:** In ASCIITORIUM, omitting `width` or `height` props is the same
+as setting them to `undefined` or `"auto"`.
 
 - `width={40}` → Fixed width of 40 characters
 - `width="fill"` → Fill available parent space
 - `width="auto"` → Auto-size to content (same as omitting the prop)
 - _Omitting width prop_ → Auto-size to content (recommended approach)
 
-**Recommendation:** Omit props instead of using `"auto"` for clarity. The type system allows `"auto"` but it's unnecessary.

 **Component-specific auto-sizing:**
 
-- **Text**: Auto-sizes to content length (width) and wrapped lines (height) when props omitted
-- **Button**: Always calculates size based on content (`buttonText.length + 7` for width, `4` for height)
