@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ Property | Type | Description
`text` | `(String|Number|Boolean)?` | This is used instead of `children` if a vnode contains a text node as its only child. This is done for performance reasons. Component vnodes never use the `text` property even if they have a text node as their only child.
`dom` | `Element?` | Points to the element that corresponds to the vnode. This property is `undefined` in the `oninit` lifecycle method. In fragments and trusted HTML vnodes, `dom` points to the first element in the range.
`domSize` | `Number?` | This is only set in fragment and trusted HTML vnodes, and it's `undefined` in all other vnode types. It defines the number of DOM elements that the vnode represents (starting from the element referenced by the `dom` property).
`state` | `Object?` | An object that is persisted between redraws. It is provided by the core engine when needed. In component vnodes, the `state` inherits prototypically from the component object/class.
`state` | `Object?` | An object that is persisted between redraws. It is provided by the core engine when needed. In POJO component vnodes, the `state` inherits prototypically from the component object/class. In class component vnodes it is an instance of the class. In closure components it is the object returned by the closure.
`_state` | `Object?` | For components, a reference to the original `vnode.state` object, used to lookup the `view` and hooks. This property is only used internally by Mithril, do not use or modify it.
`events` | `Object?` | An object that is persisted between redraws and that stores event handlers so that they can be removed using the DOM API. The `events` property is `undefined` if there are no event handlers defined. This property is only used internally by Mithril, do not use or modify it.
`instance` | `Object?` | For components, a storage location for the value returned by the `view`. This property is only used internally by Mithril, do not use or modify it.
