Rivet 2.0.0-beta.4 release

This week, we published the fourth beta release of Rivet 2 to GitHub. This release introduces design updates to several components and a new responsive table wrapper element.

Hero component updates #

Based on feedback we got from several pilot projects using Rivet 2 we have updated the design of the hero component to cover a wider range of use cases.

Updates include:

• Updated rvt-hero__image CSS class name element to rvt-hero__media and reworked element so that in addition to image elements video elements, both native HTML5 and embedded iframes (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) can be used in the hero component
• Added ability you use hero component without the rvt-hero__media element
• Added new rvt-hero--bg-dark variant that makes it possible to change the background of the hero component using Rivet’s color utility classes

Call to action updates #

This release includes a new rvt-cta--button variant of the call to action component that creates a call to action with a large touch/click area that is styled similar to a button.

Pagination updates #

This release also updates the pagination component HTML markup to fix some accessibility issues.

Responsive table wrapper #

We’ve added a new table wrapper element that can be used to help make tables more mobile friendly. Read table component documentation for more details.
