Data Table
Keyboard, focus, semantic, and consumer responsibilities for Data Table.
Accessibility
Automated evidence
The evidence summary below is generated from the repository’s executable axe scan for @solidiom/data-table. It records automated checks only; it is not a claim of complete conformance.
Manual verification
Review keyboard sort toggling, focus movement between headers, zoom/reflow, touch targets, reduced motion, contrast, and screen-reader announcements in the consuming product. A consumer’s layout, labels, and workflow can change the accessibility result.
Accessibility contract
Keyboard
- Enter or Space
- Toggles sort direction on the focused sortable header cell (cycles ascending, descending, none).
- Tab
- Navigates focus between sortable header cells.
Focus
- Sortable header cells are focusable via tabindex=0.
- Non-sortable header cells do not receive focus via Tab.
Semantics
- Uses native table, thead, th, tbody, tr, and td elements for proper table semantics.
- aria-sort is applied to the currently sorted column header with ascending or descending value.
ARIA
- aria-sort ascending on the active header when sorted in ascending order.
- aria-sort descending on the active header when sorted in descending order.
- aria-selected on rows when row selection mode is enabled (single or multiple).
Consumer responsibilities
- Provide meaningful column headers that describe the data in each column.
- Ensure row data is accessible and does not rely solely on visual cues.
- Handle empty and loading states with appropriate messaging for assistive technology.
Review status: Draft — not yet reviewed
This contract describes what the primitive guarantees. Consuming products remain responsible for labels, layout, and workflow decisions that affect the final accessibility result.
