Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Swipe action Choose swipe action when the design problem is a horizontal item-level gesture that reveals or commits row-scoped commands. Swipe action starts only from the intended row and horizontal axis; vertical scroll and pull-to-refresh win when movement is primarily vertical. Supports item-level swipe gestures that reveal background content, use thresholds, and dismiss or update rows.
