Quality and Performance

Accessibility in React

Build inclusive React applications with semantic markup, keyboard support, and ARIA best practices.

Why accessibility matters

Accessible apps work for more users, improve UX quality, and reduce legal/compliance risk.

Core practices

  • Use semantic HTML elements
  • Ensure keyboard operability
  • Provide labels for controls
  • Maintain visible focus states
  • Use ARIA only when native semantics are insufficient

Example

tsx
<label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" />

Accessibility testing

  • ESLint plugin: eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y
  • Axe browser extension
  • Manual keyboard and screen reader checks

Next, we will optimize performance.
