A facet is a list of values for a certain field occurring in the results, ordered using a configurable criteria (for example, number of occurrences). An atomic-color-facet displays a facet of the results for the current query as colors.

Introduction

A facet allows users to drill down inside a result set by filtering the result to certain field values. A Color Facet presents its information in a visual way.

User Experience and Best Practices

Usage Notes

  • A color facet is best for placing emphasis on the visual aspect of a facet value.

  • The two available options to display the facet values are box and checkbox.

    • The box display option will present the facet values in a grid with a larger tile format.

    • The checkbox display option will present the values in a list with a smaller icon or color tile.

Guidelines

When the facet doesn’t have too many values to display and the text labels are short, it’s best practice to use the box display option.

When using an image instead of a color tile or icon, it’s best practice to use the box display.

Use Cases and Examples

In commerce, a user shopping for a t-shirt can select the colors they want using a color-faceted.
