Introduction Partials Partials are utility functions that return static code or markup that is very dynamic (e.g. contains hashed file names). We primarily offer them to improve the loading and bootstrapping experience by preloading external assets like component chunks, fonts and icons but also initializing the Porsche Design System as early as possible. In addition, "fallbacks" are provided to inform the user about e.g. the usage of an unsupported browser or disabled browser cookies. Partials have to be called during build time, not run time.

Global settingsThemeChanges 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.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)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.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)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.100%130%150%200%
