Ensuring WCAG Compliance in AngularJS Components with ARIA Attributes
I'm collaborating on a project where I'm refactoring my project and I'm integrating two systems and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. Currently developing an AngularJS application and focusing heavily on accessibility to meet WCAG standards. During a recent code review, I found that several components lack proper ARIA attributes, making it challenging for screen readers to interpret the content correctly. For instance, in a custom modal directive, I've included the following code: ```javascript app.directive('customModal', function() { return { restrict: 'E', scope: { isOpen: '=' }, template: `<div class="modal" role="dialog" aria-modal="true" aria-labelledby="modalTitle"> <h2 id="modalTitle">Modal Title</h2> <button ng-click="close()">Close</button> </div>`, link: function(scope, element) { scope.close = function() { scope.isOpen = false; }; } }; }); ``` In this implementation, I set the `role` and `aria-modal` attributes, but I'm uncertain if this covers all accessibility requirements. Additionally, the focus management within the modal is not handled, and I worry that users relying on keyboard navigation might get stuck. I have read about using `ngAria` to enhance accessibility, but I'm not sure how to effectively integrate it with my custom components. As an improvement attempt, should I introduce an `aria-describedby` attribute as well for more context? Also, what are the recommended practices for handling focus when the modal opens and closes? I would greatly appreciate insights or examples from anyone who has tackled similar compliance challenges in AngularJS. Thanks in advance for your help! My team is using Javascript for this REST API. I'd be grateful for any help. This issue appeared after updating to Javascript LTS. Any examples would be super helpful. I'm working in a Ubuntu 22.04 environment. Is this even possible?
