Building Webapps for everyone - a11y with React

Talkat React Day Berlin 2019 · on Friday, 2019-12-06· [react, accessibility, web-platform]
slides:none on file

Covers concrete rules and tools: enforces WCAG AA, uses semantic HTML instead of div wrappers, and shows form patterns that actually work — labels tied to inputs, errors linked via aria-required true and role="alert", and styling buttons with aria-disabled instead of disabled so screen readers still see them. Demonstrates tested libraries and audits: pa11y, react-axe/agnostic-axe, Storybook addon, react-aria-modal/react-aria-dialog, and a visually-hidden CSS utility, with examples of what breaks and how to fix it.
