Vue.js and Accessibility: A Well-Equipped Framework
Vue.js is the second most popular JavaScript framework in France. Its template syntax close to HTML and reactive system facilitate creating accessible interfaces — provided you know the best practices.
ARIA in Vue Templates
Vue allows dynamic ARIA attribute binding with v-bind: :aria-expanded, :aria-hidden, :aria-live, :aria-invalid. Reactive ARIA attributes update automatically with component state.
Accessible Vue Components
Each component must use semantic HTML, expose label/description props, handle keyboard events via @keydown, emit state change events, and use refs for focus management. Modal dialogs must use Teleport, trap focus, close on Escape, and restore focus on close.
Vue Router and Accessibility
SPA navigation challenges include page announcements via live regions, focus management in afterEach hooks, document.title updates, and skip links on every page.
Libraries and Ecosystem
Recommended libraries: Headless UI Vue (unstyled accessible components), Radix Vue, PrimeVue (WCAG 2.1 AA), and vue-axe for development-time analysis.
Nuxt.js and Accessibility
Nuxt.js brings SSR benefits (content without JavaScript), useHead() for page titles, NuxtLink for smooth navigation, and layouts for centralized landmarks.
Vue.js, combined with proper libraries and practices, enables fully accessible applications. Vue's reactivity makes real-time ARIA attribute updates effortless.
