Overview

  • Section is a container used to organize and group related UI elements.
  • It arranges child components using a vertical or horizontal layout.
  • It supports internal scrolling when content exceeds the section’s dimensions.
  • It provides loading states via a loader with configurable size and cover background.
  • It is a fundamental building block for structured page layouts and nested groups.

Accessibility

  • Provide a perceivable busy state using showLoader/hideLoader with an appropriate loaderSize.
  • Maintain predictable reading order via elements and layout.
  • Reduce layout shift with defaultHeight plus canGrow/canShrink.
  • Preserve loader legibility using loaderCoverBackground.
  • Keep alignment predictable with alignItemsClass and justifyContentClass.
  • Avoid color-only messaging; use the loader state rather than relying solely on loaderCoverBackground.
  • Prevent scroll jank and keep focus context stable by enabling scrollingEnabled when content can overflow.
  • Improve readability by applying adequate interior spacing with paddingClass.
