The Problem

I'm looking for solutions on how to store Component states in a way that can be easily reapplied. Imagine you want to store the current state of your Buttons and such (e.g. label, disabled, etc) so that after changing some of the elements, you can wholly restore the View to that previous point if needed.

ui.View's .to_components() method returns a dict, which appears to be used in the raw payloads. However, the internal function _component_to_item, which takes component data to convert to the respective Item, expects a class instance.

The Ideal Solution

Create separate public methods that will export children as their Component classes so they could be subsequently replaced in a View.
