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. | USWDS documents bounded sets, current page highlighting, first/current/previous/next/last visibility, and edge 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 bounded pagination, current-page highlighting, previous/next visibility, and robust current-page links. |
