What are ARIA attributes in Vue.js?

ARIA attributes are special HTML attributes that enhance accessibility for users with disabilities. In Vue.js, you can use them to improve the interaction of your components with assistive technologies.

Can you give me an example of how to use ARIA attributes in a Vue component?

Sure! For instance, you can add aria-label to a button in your Vue template like this: <button aria-label='Close'>X</button>. This helps screen readers understand the button's purpose.

Are there any specific ARIA attributes I should always include?

It's good practice to include attributes like role, aria-labelledby, and aria-hidden when necessary, as they provide context and improve navigation for assistive technologies.

How do I test if my ARIA attributes are working correctly?

You can use accessibility testing tools like Axe or Lighthouse, and also manually test with screen readers to ensure your ARIA attributes are functioning as intended.
