What is an Action Sheet?

An Action Sheet is a temporary interface element that presents contextual actions to the user, typically displayed from the bottom of the screen. It allows users to make decisions or take actions quickly without navigating away from their current context.

When to use Action Sheet?

Use an Action Sheet when you need to provide users with a set of actions or options related to the current content or context. It is particularly useful for mobile applications, where screen space is limited and quick access to actions is essential for user experience.

When not to use Action Sheet?

Avoid using an Action Sheet when the list of options is too long or when actions require more detailed explanations. In such cases, a different interface element, such as a modal or a full-screen view, may be more appropriate to ensure clarity and usability.

What is the anatomy of an Action Sheet?

An Action Sheet typically consists of several components: a title or prompt at the top, a list of action buttons that users can select, and a cancel button to dismiss the Action Sheet. The design should be simple and intuitive, ensuring users can quickly understand their options.
