Answer

  • Use appropriate ARIA roles to define the structure and behavior of complex components (e.g., role='dialog' for modals).
  • Implement state management to update ARIA attributes dynamically (e.g., aria-expanded, aria-hidden).
  • Leverage React's accessibility features, like the ref attribute, to manage focus and screen reader announcements.
  • Ensure that the use of ARIA roles does not contradict native HTML semantics to avoid confusion.
