Developer What component has
Roles and attributes
The list below describes roles and attributes that component already has.
| Component / element | Role | Attribute | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
WidgetEmpty | status | implicit aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" | Any region which receives updates that are important for the user to receive, but not so rapid as to be annoying, should receive aria-live="polite" attribute. The screen reader will speak changes whenever the user is idle. |
Image | aria-hidden='true' | Removes the image from the accessibility tree. | |
img | alt='' | Decorative images do not need to be announced by the screen reader, so the alt attribute should be empty. |
Considerations for designers
Make sure that the user can easily read the text of the message. Check recommendations in Typography.
