# getStateDefinitions()

Retrieves the [`states`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/site-extensions/editor-react-components/manifest-reference/editor-element/states.md) declared in the selected component's manifest, such as hover or disabled.

## Syntax

```ts
function getStateDefinitions(): Promise<ElementStateDefinitions>
```

## Returns

`Promise<ElementStateDefinitions>`

An object mapping each state's key to its definition. Each definition can include:

| Property | Type | Description |
| :---- | :---- | :---- |
| `displayName` | string | The label for the state in the **Design** auto panel's state selector. |
| `className` | string | The CSS class the editor applies to preview this state. |
| `pseudoClass` | string | The native CSS pseudo-class this state maps to on the live site, such as `'hover'`, `'focus'`, `'disabled'`, or `'invalid'`. |
| `props` | object | The props the editor passes to the component to preview this state. |

## Example

```js
import { reactElements } from '@wix/editor';

const states = await reactElements.getStateDefinitions();
```
