Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| List view | Choose list view when each row is a compact object summary and users scan primarily by name, title, snippet, status, or recency. | Each row has one primary object identity that remains visible across selection, hover, focus, filtering, and responsive states. | Apple lists and tables guidance supports row organization, grouping, selection, adding, deleting, moving, disclosure, swipe actions, and platform list behavior. |
| 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 list and table row actions, including deleting, moving, and swipe actions. |
