Accessibility shouldn't require heavy third-party dependencies. Angular's new ARIA components provide framework-native, accessible primitives for common UI patterns like accordion, combobox, menus, and tabs. This session introduces these components and demonstrates how to use them to build ARIA-compliant interfaces with less code and better Angular integration than traditional component libraries.
Through live coding examples, you'll see how Angular ARIA components handle keyboard navigation, screen readers, and ARIA attributes automatically while giving you full styling control. We'll compare them to popular third-party alternatives, highlighting benefits like smaller bundle sizes, consistent Angular patterns, and zero external dependencies. Attendees will leave with practical code examples and the knowledge to start building more accessible Angular applications immediately.
