The accessibility requirements for all the form tags are already configured in the library. For components (input, checkbox, select, radio…) different attributes have been introduced that can be configured through props.
Next, we can see different attributes and tags to adjust the accessibility of the form and how to configure them:
Attribute/Tag | Description |
---|---|
Aria-describedby | To configure that, it's necessary to pass “name form” as a prop |
Fieldset / Legend | Tags that are being used to group and associate related form controls (you can see in the multiple checkbox example given below) |
Required | To indicate if the field is necessary to fill or not while completing the form |
Placeholder | Used to guide and help the user to describe the format and expected value for the field |
Type | To specify the type of elements to display |
Accessibility | In radio button needs to pass as a props "accessibility": true |
AccessibilityError | the main form also needs to have "accessibilityError" : true as a props |
-
To define the style for the fields, as we use theme-ui, we can either do inline-styling using style=”” or instead sx=”” where you pass the style accordingly. Also, we can include an “id” attribute for input that needs a unique style.
-
For the markdown component, we can add the corresponding tag to the text or title. To illustrate that, if the title is an h2, it will include “##” before text, or, if the title is an h3, it will include “###”, and so on.
