Adheres to the Accordion WAI-ARIA design pattern.
We have outlined the various features that ensure the Accordion component is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. These features help ensure that your application is inclusive and meets accessibility standards.
  • Header is h3 tag on web.
  • aria-expanded is "true" when the Accordion Content is visible, otherwise false.
  • role is set to "region" for the currently expanded accordion panel.
  • aria-controls points to the id of the Accordion Content.
  • aria-labelledby references the accordion header button that expands and collapses the region.

Keyboard Interactions

  • Space - When focus is on an Accordion.Trigger of a collapsed section, expands the section.
  • Enter - When focus is on an Accordion.Trigger of a collapsed section, expands the section.
  • Tab - Moves focus to the next focusable element.
  • Shift + Tab - Moves focus to the previous focusable element.

Screen Reader

  • VoiceOver: When the Accordion Item is focused, the screen reader will announce the Accordion's title text and the state of the Accordion trigger (expanded or collapsed).
