Angular ARIA

Stabilized in Angular 22, the @angular/aria package provides a set of directives and tools to implement WAI-ARIA patterns correctly and easily.

Key Features:

  • Accessible State Management: Directives that automatically sync internal component state (like expanded or selected) with the appropriate ARIA attributes.
  • Focus Management: Tools for managing tab order and focus traps within complex UI widgets like modals or dropdowns.
  • Live Regions: Simplified API for managing aria-live updates for screen readers.
  • Standardized Patterns: Pre-built implementations for common widgets (Accordions, Tabs, Menus) that follow accessibility best practices out of the box.
