ARIA enhancements External ARIA provided by the aria property: ARIAUsagearia-labelDefines a string value that labels an interactive element. It's required for buttons with hideLabel="true".aria-expandedExposes a visual state (e.g. expanded/collapsed) of another element.aria-pressedExposes the pressed state of a toggle button.aria-haspopupDefines that the button opens a popup (e.g. dialog). It can be used in combination with aria-expanded to indicate the state of the popup. Limitations Due to the nature of Web Components and shadowDOM, there are limitations in the usage of some ARIA attributes if they try to set relationship between elements in different shadowDOM's or shadowDOM/lightDOM combinations. ARIASupportaria-labelledby🚫aria-describedby🚫aria-owns🚫aria-controls🚫aria-activedescendant🚫 Development considerations Text over image or video In general, placing textual contents above an image or video can easily lead to contrast issues. Though we are providing a scalable background gradient to reduce the risk of low contrasts between foreground text and background image, there still can occur issues with color contrast ratios, especially if different aspect ratios for multiple viewport sizes are used. So, always check readability and play around with the size and weight properties to achieve the best results. Reduced motion In case a video background is used, the component checks whether reduced motion is enabled in the operating system settings and prevents the <video autoplay loop /> attribute from working to improve accessibility & UX. In addition, the slotted video should have no audio or is muted by <video muted />. Also keep in mind that long videos or videos in general might increase the page load time. The video content should support the CTA instead of distracting from it. To support screen reader users, it's recommended to define an alternative video description <video aria-label="Some video description"" />.

It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionChanges the direction of HTML elements, mostly used on<html> tag to support languages which are read from right to left like e.g. Arabic.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)AutoText ZoomChanges the text size and values with unit rem or em relatively. This setting can be defined in browser settings for any website or by an application itself on<html> tag. To achieve WCAG 2.2 AA compliance it's obligatory to support text zoom up to at least 200%.100%130%150%200%
