Card Accessibility
Out of the box, the Kendo React Card provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.
The Card is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standards and Section 508 requirements, follows the Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) best practices for implementing the keyboard navigation for its component role, provides options for managing its focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.
WAI-ARIA
This section lists the selectors, attributes, and behavior patterns supported by the component and its composite elements, if any.
Card Component
The Card component is a UI container with styles for organized content. It does not have WAI ARIA and keyboard navigation unless used in a Card List.
| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
|---|---|---|
.k-card-list .k-card | role=listitem | When the card is located in a list, it should accept the listitem role. |
tabindex=0 | The card component is focusable. By enabling navigatable setting in the card component, it is focusable and all inner elements are not until Enter key is pressed. | |
aria-describedby=.k-card-title id | Associate the card to the title element when going through the cards. | |
aria-keyshortcuts=Enter | Announces the bound Enter key for the Card component that will enable the navigation inside the card. |
