Accessibility Overview
The Kendo UI for Angular Splitter component is WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508 compliant. The component also follows the WAI-ARIA best practices for implementing the keyboard navigation for its component role, and is tested against the popular screen readers.
Due to the rich feature set of the library and complexity of some components, the specific combination of configuration options may lead to inaccessible component rendering. Perform thorough testing on any modifications applied to the Kendo UI for Angular components to ensure that they continue to comply with the desired level of accessibility standards.
The following example demonstrates the accessibility compliance of the Splitter component. Open the example in a new window to evaluate it with Axe Core or other accessibility tools.
The described level of compliance is achievable with the Ocean Blue A11y Accessibility Swatch.
WCAG 2.2 Compliance
To comply with the WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility specifications, customize the split bar width, by setting the splitbarWidth property to the desired pixel value.
The following example demonstrates a Splitter that is fully compliant with the latest WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines.
WAI-ARIA Support
All relevant internal elements of the Splitter component have the aria attributes and roles with their respective values, required for WCAG 2.2 compliance.
Setting the
aria-valuenowattribute of the separator element is not applicable, as the Splitter is a complex layout component allowing splitting the content into multiple panes across any number and level of nested Splitters and panes, thus announcing a value would not convey any meaningful information. Moreover, there is no specification, or WAI-ARIA recommendation that explains how value should be set in multiple panes scenario. You can still apply attributes to the component as needed, using thesplitterBarAttributesoption.
Section 508
The Splitter component is compliant with the Section 508 requirements.
