Table Usage The following section provides guidance for designers and developers on how to use this component in different situations. Do: Use to display and compare structured data in rows and columns. Use as a tool to query consume and navigate to specific data. Use if there are at least two or more columns of data parameters. Ensure that the column headers are relevant to the data it represents and are succinct. Include rich content in the cell data to support the specific requirements of the application use cases. Enable sorting of columns in ascending or descending order with an arrow icon to indicate the order direction. Ensure that the table is responsive and stretches to the full available width. Include a table caption describing the contents of the table for accessibility Use the built-in scroller for horizontal scrolling on mobile viewports. Don't: Don't use for non-structured data or data that can be presented in a simpler format. Don't overuse or clutter cell data with unnecessary content. Don't neglect to include a table caption for accessibility purposes.
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%
