Breadcrumbs
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 breadcrumbs 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.
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.
- Each page link in the breadcrumbs is reached by Tab and activated by Enter. The current page should not be a link.
- Visual separators have to be hidden for screen reader users.
- The last option in the breadcrumb corresponding to the active page, has to be announce as the active page for screen reader users.
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.
