Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tree selection | Choose tree selection when hierarchy is meaningful to the user's selection task and the parent-child relationship changes how options are found or interpreted. | The tree container has role tree and a visible label referenced by aria-labelledby or an accessible name. | APG defines tree view hierarchy, expansion, focus movement, single and multi-select behavior, focus versus selection, typeahead, aria-activedescendant, labels, and selected-state properties. |
