aria-label Summary:

• Purpose: aria-label is used to provide a text label for an element when there is no visible label, making it accessible for users of assistive technologies.

• Usage: Assign a value to aria-label that succinctly describes the purpose or action associated with the element.

• Example:

  <button aria-label="Close">X</button>

  In this example, the button is labeled "Close," indicating that clicking it will perform a closing action.

• Best Practices:

  • Use aria-label when an element lacks visible text and its purpose needs to be communicated.
  • Keep the label descriptive and concise.
  • Avoid redundant use on elements already containing visible text unless additional clarification is needed.

• Testing: Verify the effectiveness of aria-label by testing your application with screen readers to ensure that the intended information is conveyed.

Using aria-label appropriately enhances the accessibility of your web content for all users.
