Accessible components make your app better for everyone. These patterns help you build a robust UI.

Start with the basics:

• Use native HTML elements like button and input.
• Use ARIA attributes only as a last resort.
• Create clear focus indicators.
• Make all features work with a keyboard.

Focus management is key:

• Trap focus inside modals.
• Return focus to the trigger after closing a modal.
• Move focus to the first heading during page changes.

Test your work:

• Run automated audits with axe-core.
• Test keyboard flows manually.
• Use a screen reader to check the experience.

Keep it fast:

• Use conditional rendering for hidden parts.
• Memoize pure subcomponents.
• Use a simple state machine for complex logic.
