Description

Hi,
Overall the Documentation is great.
https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/06/07/you-probably-dont-need-derived-state.html … - overloads the terms controlled/uncontrolled .I can have a controlled component from a form perspective but uncontrolled from a data residence perspective .This can be confusing. I suggest some new terminology to fully differentiate these different concepts.
Regards
John
