Flex 🚫

The Porsche Design System flex layout system is based on standard CSS Flexbox browser behaviour and can be controlled by the properties of the p-flex container and p-flex-item. It can be used to quickly layout standard content blocks or components.

This component is deprecated and will be removed with the next major release. In general, please use native CSS Flex instead for better performance and more standardized layout technique.

Global settings

ThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.

DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.

Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.
