Add optional
ariaLabelPropSummary
This PR introduces an optional
ariaLabelprop to theModalcomponent, allowing developers to ensure all modals are properly labeled for screen reader users in a more flexible way.Changes
ariaLabelprop toModalPropsinterfacearia-labelattribute to the modal containerWhy is this needed?
According to the W3C ARIA Authoring Practices for Modals, every modal must have an accessible label:
Currently, the component only supports
ariaLabelledby, which requires referencing a visible element with an ID. However, referencing a visible element is not always possible or practical. Some modals may not have a clear title element, or the visible title may not be the most descriptive for accessibility purposes. In other cases, developers may be forced to create artificial hidden elements solely for screen readers, adding unnecessary complexity and markup.Example Use Cases
❌ Without
ariaLabel(forces artificial markup)✅ With ariaLabel (clean and semantic)
