List

When to use this component

A list is an organized set of items that convey information. A list must always consist of two or more items.

When to not use this component

A list cannot be used for a single item.

How it works

A list organizes information. There are two types of lists:

  • Odered list: To display information in some ranking or hierarchy.
  • Unordered list: To display information with no specific order.

List: Inline List
