<footer>Footer content

Render the semantic `footer` landmark for closing information for a page or section.

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use

from hedron import Footer, Heading, Text
component = Footer(Heading('Support', level=2), Text('Contact the platform team'))

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works

Footer emits a native <footer>, preserving semantic navigation instead of using a generic div. Children may be passed individually or as one non-string sequence. Landmark helpers are real typed classes with an allowlisted attribute set.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters

Footer(*nodes, children=None, class_=None, id=None, lang=None, dir=None, role=None, aria=None, data=None, ...)
Parameter Type Meaning
nodes NodeLike Positional content belonging to this semantic region.
children NodeLike | sequence | None Keyword alternative; combines with positional nodes.
class_ str | None Optional authored class name.
id str | None Stable fragment or target identifier.
lang / dir / role / title / tabindex / aria / data / hidden allowlisted Safe HTML attributes; hostile roles like presentation / none are rejected.

Composition and backend behavior

Keep Footer at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

Footer is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility

Use explicit link text and keep legal or support navigation grouped meaningfully.

Security

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes

  • A nested section footer is not the page-wide contentinfo landmark.
  • Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
