MDS Assistant is an experiment.
Hi, I'm the MDS Assistant and can help you with information from our guidelines and components.

I do not provide code and development guidance. For coding assistance, please check out our experimental MCP server.

Season's Greetings from team MDS

Button group, segmented control, input masks and more!
14 December 2023

As we begin to wrap up 2023 and get ready for 2024, we have a number of updates to share ☺️

Button Group and Segmented Control

We have shipped two new core MDS components, the Button Group and Segmented Control.

These two new components supersede the Content Switcher community contributed component and are officially supported by the MDS team.

Selection components guideline

We have a number of selection based components as part of the core MDS component library. Sometimes, it can be unclear what is the correct component for a given situation.

To help with this, we have created a Selection components guideline. This guideline will help you decide whether to use a Radio Group, a Checkbox Group, Segmented Control, Typeahead and more based on common usage scenarios.

Input masks

Our input component now supports input masks.

Input masks are a way of controlling how data is entered into an input field, assisting users to avoid common errors and entering invalid values e.g. for a credit card number, container number etc.

We are looking to extend input mask functionality to the input date and input time components early next year. In the meantime, we would really appreciate your feedback and suggestions with this new addition to the MDS.

πŸŽ„ As always, thank you for your invaluable input, support and feedback. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please reach out to us πŸŽ„
