Description

Action blocks work as a group to provide the user an easy to browse list of options of relativeto take action to discover more information. They commonly exist as links to more detailed content.

Best Practices

  • Can use xlight, light, dark, and xdark themes.
  • Can have an image, icon, and/or text
  • Should link to content
  • Should be limited to 7 (soft limit) unless we're representing a large list of content that is meant to be scanned
  • Can wrap to many rows
  • Top aligned by default
  • Can be vertically centered
  • Are set with a border by default
  • Can be borderless
  {% include "@bolt-components-action-blocks/action-blocks.twig" with {
  contentItems: [
    {
      text: "Item 1",
      url: "#!",
      icon: {
        name: "icon-name",
        size: "large",
        background: "circle"
      }
    },
    {
      text: "Item 2",
      url: "#!",
      icon: {
        name: "icon-name",
        size: "large",
        background: "circle"
      }
    },
    {
      text: "Item 3",
      url: "#!",
      icon: {
        name: "icon-name",
        size: "large",
        background: "circle"
      }
    }
  ]
} only %}
