1. A system comprising:
a processing system;
a webpage stored in memory, the webpage defining a plurality of state-based components including:
a hidden user interface (UI) component defining instructions executable by the processing system to command an underlying platform code to perform one or more actions for updating state data of the hidden UI component; and
a mimic component that emulates behavior of the hidden UI component, the mimic component being a UI component configured to:
initialize an update to the state data of the hidden UI component in response to receipt of user input to the mimic component; and
update state data of the mimic component based on the updated state data of the hidden UI component.
