Flag Table of Contents Size via Prop The size property offers a set of predefined sizes that cover most use cases. To align the flag with surrounding typography, set size to inherit. The flag's dimensions are then derived from the font-size of a parent element (e.g. a p-text). The internal calculation is based on the ex-unit relative to the inherited font-size and the global line-height, ensuring the flag stays visually consistent with typographic-scale-based components.

Size via CSS Variable For full control over the flag's dimensions, use the custom CSS variable --p-flag-size, which accepts any valid CSS length value. This approach is particularly useful when the flag is placed independently of typographic-scale-based components and a precise, fixed size is required.

Responsive Size The size property supports BreakpointCustomizable values, allowing you to define different sizes for each major breakpoint (xs, s, m, l, xl). This makes it easy to adapt the flag's appearance responsively without additional CSS.

Global settingsColor SchemeAll color tokens use the light-dark() CSS function. Set the theme via the CSS color-scheme property: light for light mode, dark for dark mode, or light dark to follow the user's system preference.LightDarkLight DarkDirectionThe 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%
