Consistency and Standards

Users should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or actions mean the same thing. Follow platform conventions.

Behavioral Consistency

Similar actions produce similar outcomes, regardless of where they occur in the interface.

External Standards

The interface follows established platform, industry, and web conventions, reducing the learning curve.

Different components, same conventions

<mds-button variant="success" tone="weak">Click me</mds-button>
<mds-banner variant="success" tone="weak" deletable>...</mds-banner>

Components based on standard conventions

<mds-input-field label="Your name">
  <mds-input type="text" name="full-name" required placeholder="Es: Mario Rossi"></mds-input>
<mds-input-field>
<mds-input-switch type="checkbox" name="agree" required checked>
  I agree to the terms and conditions
</mds-input-switch>

React wrappers available

<MdsInputField label="Your name">
  <MdsInput type="text" name="full-name" required placeholder="Es: Mario Rossi"></MdsInput>
<MdsInputField>
<MdsInputSwitch type="checkbox" name="agree" required checked>
  I agree to the terms and conditions
</MdsInputSwitch>

Internal Consistency

The system behaves the same way in similar situations, so users can rely on patterns they have already learned.

Create your first folder Organize your files and folders in a structured way. New folder Add your first contact Add your first contact to your address book. New contact

Pattern Reuse

Established solutions are reused instead of reinvented, strengthening familiarity and efficiency.

Interactive use case

This text is a reusable web component, also the button below is a reusable web component. Click me And this is a dropdown, also a reusable web component.

System Integrity

The interface feels like a single, coherent system rather than a collection of disconnected parts.
