Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pull to refresh | Choose pull to refresh when the design problem is the vertical top-of-scroll drag that refreshes the current data set. | Pull-to-refresh begins only when the intended scroll container is at its top boundary and the user drags downward beyond normal scroll tolerance. | Supports using swipe-to-refresh with scrollable content and providing a manual refresh menu action for users who cannot perform the gesture. |
