Dynamic styling in Lit components allows you to change how your component looks based on its internal state or properties. This is especially useful for interactive elements, such as toggles, buttons, or indicators that need to reflect user actions or data changes visually. In Lit, you can use the classMap and styleMap utilities to conditionally apply CSS classes or inline styles right within your template expressions.

The classMap directive helps you apply one or more CSS classes to an element based on the values of an object. Each key in the object is a class name, and its value is a boolean that determines whether the class is applied. For example, you might use classMap({active: this.active, inactive: !this.active}) to apply the "active" class when this.active is true, and "inactive" otherwise.

The styleMap directive lets you set inline CSS styles dynamically. You pass it an object where each key is a CSS property and the value is the style to apply. This is useful for small, state-dependent style tweaks like changing a color or adding a box shadow.

You can also use conditional logic directly in your Lit templates to switch between different CSS classes or styles. For example, you might write ${this.active ? 'Active' : 'Inactive'} inside your template to display different text depending on state.

By combining these techniques, you can make your components visually respond to property changes in real time, creating a more interactive and engaging user experience.
