Dictionary

Code Examples

This component is intended for displays of key-value pairs.

Restrictions

  • Each key must only have one value.
  • There must be at least two key-value pairs.
  • Nesting Dictionaries is not supported.
  • Tooltips or additional text is not supported.
  • The length of keys is limited to two lines of wrapped text.
  • The length of values is not limited, but will wrap to the next line if there's no room.

Basic Dictionary

The Basic Dictionary pattern is meant to be used when there are less than 10 items to display. It shows the key on the left and the value on the right.

Angular

The dictionary component expects an Object containing key-value pairs to be passed in on the 'data' input. See below for additional customization options.

Information

See below for available customization options:

Input Type Description
data Object The collection of key-value pairs to be rendered into the component.
dictionaryType string Determines the variant of the dictionary component to render. The only available option is 'striped'. Supplying no value will cause the base variant to be used.

Striped Dictionary

This variation is for cases where the number of items in the Dictionary exceeds 10, or when the dictionary is in a container that's wide enough where an additional visual cue is necessary. The striped rows help to visually separate the content.
