ARIA enhancements Internal ARIA that is managed by the component: ARIAUsagearia-label="STRING"Defines the accessible name combined with the description and status message.role="status", role="alert"When message and state or loading prop change, the status message is announced.aria-hidden="true"If required attribute is set, the visible asterisk indicator is hidden from assistive technologies.aria-invalid="true"If error state is set.aria-live="polite"If the maxlength attribute is present, the counter is announced via ARIA live region.aria-pressed="BOOLEAN"If the type password is set, the state of the visibility toggle button is set. Development considerations Disabled state In general, you should prevent using the disabled state. Disabled elements are not reachable (focusable) anymore and can be missed by screen reader users. They can be confusing for sighted users as well by not pointing out why these elements are disabled. Slotted contents If using slotted contents to serve form elements, make sure to provide the right ARIA attributes to give assistive technology users the corresponding information: Add a unique IDREF to the slot="label" element Add a unique IDREF to the slot="message" element (if set) Add corresponding aria-labelledby="some-label-id" to the input element which points to the label ID Add corresponding aria-describedby="some-description-id some-message-id" to the input element which points to both, the description ID (if set) and the message ID when the (error/success) message appears Tests Automated TechnologySupportAXE-Core (WCAG 2.2 AA, Best-Practice)✅High-Contrast Mode (light/dark)✅Text-Zoom (200%)✅ Manual TechnologySupportKeyboard✅Screen reader (VoiceOver, NVDA)✅
