We can't stress this enough: never store any business-related state in QML! All the business logic belongs to C++. However, storing some UI-related state in a component may make sense in certain cases (for instance, the position at which a list view is scrolled to).

How do we do that? In this video we'll show the simplest solution: just introduce some ad-hoc properties in the right element inside a component. These properties can then act as local variables.
