XAF Blazor Accessibility

created 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating XAF.
I'm working in the public sector and it is mandatory to fullfill accessibility requirements (e.g. screen reader must read all content, contrast etc.).

Is it possible with "XAF Blazor" to customize UI elements and add for example aria-labels at a button (changing the HTML)?

Or is there screen reader support out of the box?

Kind Regards

    Hi Ricky,

    First, I would like to thank you for your interest in XAF Blazor.

    Right now, we don't have special support for accessibility in XAF Blazor and our Blazor components in general. However, we have plans to support it in the future.

    Currently, you can customize the built-in HTML markup via ComponentModel.SetAttribute() method of the property editors and action containers to add required ARIA attributes.

    Please check the following articles for how to access these elements:

    Please let me know if you have further questions in this regard.

      That would be a lot of customization in all the standard controls to accomplish accessibility requirements.
      In the public sector Germany, it is mandatory by law to support accessibility.

      Thanks anyway.

        Hello, Ricky.

        I just wanted to inform you that we focus more on accessibility (A11Y) enhancements in XAF Blazor and UI components. Our v24.1 has numerous A11Y fixes implemented:

        We have also published Blazor Component Suite VPAT (Feb 2024) for developers to consult with.

        Our Blazor Grid's keyboard navigation will also officially ship and be enabled by default in v24.1. Finally, we expect to introduce accessibility-related enhancements for unsupported XAF Blazor components throughout 2024.

        If you wish, I can give you access to our v24.1 early preview build as an exception (even if your license has expired) so that you can test these enhancements live. Please let me know if this is still a priority for you and your clients. If you found a temporary solution or dropped our products due to the lack of accessibility support in the past, please let me know.

        Regards,
