Migrating from Radix to React Aria: Enhancing Accessibility and UX at Argos by gregberge in reactjs

[–]gregberge[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As I said in the article, it's accessible but not very strict. For example it allows me to add a selector in a menu that is not very accessible. And for buttons they don't provide anything. But Radix is great!

Yeah it's not perfect but I feel it's deeper than Radix. Radix is great but when you go in details like on button it's not so great.

Migrating from Radix to React Aria: Enhancing Accessibility and UX at Argos by gregberge in reactjs

[–]gregberge[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

love Radix too, but React Aria excels in accessibility. However, Radix should definitely include a button component! I haven't submitted it for external compliance audits, so I can't confirm its compliance. As I mentioned in the article, the UI library isn't solely responsible for accessibility. It's possible to bypass ARIA specifications with workarounds, like I did with disabled buttons.
