Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Pagination Choose pagination when result order, bounded position, and resumability matter. Changing page updates the collection while preserving the user's query or filters. Carbon documents placing pagination under related table or page content, current-page information, item ranges, and responsive behavior.
Pagination without current page Flag this anti-pattern when a pagination set has no visible current page, no aria-current or equivalent current-state text, or more than one item that appears current. Each pagination region has one owner collection and one current page or current range. Supports current-page information, result ranges, pagination placement, item-per-page behavior, and responsive pagination.
