Switch
A Switch essentially serves as a visual for users, allowing them to
switch between two states, usually "on" and "off".
It's typically used when the user needs to make a binary choice, such as enabling or disabling a feature or setting. It offers a clear visual cue of the current state and is an intuitive way for users to interact with the interface.
