Component name
Timeline
Component description
A timeline displays the dates of key events with visuals within a particular historical period in chronological order.
Why USWDS needs this component
The closest components that USWDS currently has are the Process List component and the Collection component. However, the Process List displays numbers: 1, 2, 3... and are joined with the visual line but not dates. So, maybe we can combine the functionalities of the Process List, Collection and Accordion (that Passed WCAG 2.1 AA) components to create the Timeline Component.
How the component works
This should clearly convey to users that they are viewing a chronological timeline.
Real-world examples
I have not encountered a real timeline in the .gov space. I've only seen headings and paragraphs
When to use this component and when to consider something else
To display a timeline.
Usability considerations
Instead of using a table, process list or headings and paragraphs.
Accessibility considerations
Same as accordion.
