Usage #
This section includes guidelines for designers and developers about the usage of this component in different contexts.
Do #
- Use the header component to show a heading to describe the current view.
- Use the header component to hold primary actions.
- Use the header component at a visual high position at full width.
- Utilise the
n-truncateCSS helper to prevent long headings from wrapping.
Don’t #
- Don’t overcrowd the header component with too many actions or information.
- Don’t nest the header component too deeply and restrict its available space.
- Don’t add large amounts of content or long headings. Aim for headings that are short and concise.
Content guidelines #
The header component should be a containing element placed high on the page to present high level controls and to describe the page itself. It shouldn’t be overcrowded with controls or information.
