An overview of everything the design system provides. Theme: plain. Language: English.
The small pieces of vocabulary a screen is assembled from: status, identity, progress and the one alert shape.
Pre-built, consistent UI elements, rendered server-side.
The framework's own vocabulary calls these partials: ui.Templates() returns partials, and docs/site/templates.md documents them under that name. The word on this page changed; the code's did not.
Links inactive, sample source provided.
Each sample below in its own frame.
Sample content in English. Sample shells translated.
A record's status as a tinted pill, colour and label.
Default tone (neutral)

<span rst-status rst-tone="positive">Published</span>warning
<span rst-status rst-tone="warning">Scheduled</span>negative
<span rst-status rst-tone="negative">Failed</span>An uppercase bordered chip for small static markers. Distinct from status-pill, which is record status.

One number on a dashboard, with a label and how much it changed.
The big number
<div rst-stats><div rst-stat="lead"><span rst-stat-label>Revenue this month</span><span rst-stat-num>€48,210</span><span rst-stat-delta rst-tone="positive">+12%</span><span rst-stat-note>vs. last month</span></div></div>Add Lead to one stat in the row to make it big. It is the same component, just larger.
A smaller number
<div rst-stats><div rst-stat><span rst-stat-label>Unpaid invoices</span><span rst-stat-num>24</span></div></div>You only need a label and a number. Everything else is optional.
When going down is good
<div rst-stats><div rst-stat><span rst-stat-label>Time to first reply</span><span rst-stat-num>1h 12m</span><span rst-stat-delta rst-tone="positive">−38%</span><span rst-stat-note>vs. last week</span></div></div>You set the colour, not the component. Here the number went down and that is good news, so the change is green.
When going up is bad
<div rst-stats><div rst-stat><span rst-stat-label>Failed payments</span><span rst-stat-num>9</span><span rst-stat-delta rst-tone="negative">+3</span><span rst-stat-note>vs. last week</span></div></div>Here the number went up and that is bad news, so the change is red.
When you cannot say
<div rst-stats><div rst-stat><span rst-stat-label>Average session length</span><span rst-stat-num>4m 12s</span><span rst-stat-delta rst-tone="neutral">+18s</span><span rst-stat-note>since Friday</span></div></div>Leave the colour out and the change is grey. Do that when you cannot say if it is good or bad.
A shortened number
<div rst-stats><div rst-stat><span rst-stat-label>Messages sent</span><span rst-stat-num><data value="4120">4.1k</data></span></div></div>Showing 4.1k instead of 4120? Put the full number in Exact. Screen readers only read what is on screen, so keep anything a person needs in the number itself.

This one polls: it is the only sample on the page that asks the network for anything, and on a static site it simply never resolves.
