Sub-components

  • `` - Individual action within the list
  • `` - Grouped actions (e.g. separator between primary and cancel actions)

Requirements

  • MUST implement PFv6 visual designs
  • MUST provide end-user feature parity with `@patternfly/react-core` ActionList
  • MAY adjust element API to leverage web platform strengths
  • SHOULD maintain CSS custom property theming compatibility
  • SHOULD expose useful CSS shadow parts

Element-specific considerations

  • React `isIconList` - icon-only buttons with no text; adjusts spacing; map to `icon-list` attribute
  • `ActionListGroup` - groups actions; used to visually separate primary actions from cancel/secondary
  • Layout only; no interactive behavior on the container itself - it's a flex/grid wrapper
  • Children are `` or standard ``/`` elements
  • No ARIA roles needed on container beyond standard `
    ` layout

Checklist

Implementation

  • API per `.claude/ADVICE.md`
  • CSS uses v6 tokens, logical properties, nesting
  • `@summary` and JSDoc on element class

Demos

  • Demos match patternfly.org naming/structure
  • CSS custom properties match computed styles from patternfly.org (Chrome MCP)
  • Visual parity verified via Chrome MCP

Tests

  • Public API covered (attributes, properties, events, slots)
  • `a11ySnapshot` assertions

Reviews

  • `/review-api` passes
  • `/review-demos` passes
  • `/review-a11y` passes
  • `eslint` and `stylelint` pass

Ship

  • Add changeset
  • PR targets `staging/pfv6` (NOT `main`)
