Message
v.1.0.0 | SaturnAccessibility is a crucial consideration when designing and developing components, as it ensures that all users, regardless of their abilities or limitations, can interact effectively with your project. In this section, we will explore how our message has been developed with accessibility in mind, ensuring that all users have a smooth and meaningful experience.
The following mencioned props and recommendations are optional, althougt at Kubit strongly recommend their use to meet accessibility standars.
Text
Use especific text labels. Labels should have a meaningful and unique visible text label that clearly specify their purpose. This pattern can be followed:
- Heading: brief description of what is happening.
- Messages: full description of what is happening and alternatives for the users.
- Actions: buttons or links.
Icons
When including icons as the icon description are included in the title, they have to be considerer as decorative and must be hidden for screen reader users.
Keyboard interaction and Screen-reader experience
To support screen reader users, this component should include WAI ARIA attributes (the alt and aria specific props) to have a correct semantic markup. Screen reader and keyboard users should be able to operate with all the interactive elements.
In order to facilitate the navigation for screen reader users, titles have to be marked up as headings.
Keyboard navigation order for the interactive elements in a message is:
- Inline link
- Button
- Action link
- Close button
Visual design
Color contrast
- For text labels in links needs a color contrast of at least 4'5:1 for regular text and 3:1 for large scale (18pt) or bold text (14pt).
- For the rest of elements and the focus indicator at least of 3:1 color contrast ratio is needed.
Target Size
The area for clicking and tapping buttons must be large enough. The recommended size of the target for pointer inputs is at least 24x24px and 44x44px for best readability.
