Usage
This section includes guidelines for designers and developers about the usage of this component in different contexts.
Do
- Use the footer component to show actions for a stepped workflow.
- Use the footer component to provide additional information or actions that are positioned below the main content.
- The footer component can also be used within Nord to provide a layer of actions or information at the bottom of a component. It’s currently used internally in the modal and drawer components.
- When using the footer component within the layout component, you can make the footer sticky by using the provided
stickyFooterproperty of the layout component. View an example.
Don’t
- Don’t overcrowd the footer with too many actions or information.
- Don’t nest the footer deeply and restrict its available space.
- Don’t add large amounts of content or long paragraphs. Aim for actions that are short and concise.
Content guidelines
Footer action labels should be clear, accurate and predictable. It should be possible for the user to understand what will happen when they click a button:
When writing button labels, always write them in sentence case, not title case. The first word should be capitalized and the rest lowercase (unless a proper noun):
Avoid unnecessary words and articles in button labels, such as “the”, “an” or “a”:
