Accessibility

Every component is designed to be inclusive, with built-in accessibility features that ensure a seamless experience for users of all abilities.

FlyonUI includes an HSAccessibilityObserver, a centralized system that manages accessibility interactions across your UI. It enhances keyboard support, interaction consistency, and accessibility behavior with minimal configuration.

• Keyboard Navigation: Supports navigation via keys like Arrow, Enter, Space, Escape, Home, End, and Tab.
• Focus Management: Automatically handles focus between nested or overlapping interactive components.
• Interaction Conflict Prevention: Coordinates global events to avoid clashes between components.
• Context Awareness: Adapts to complex structures, such as dropdowns within modals.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: Components auto-register for accessibility handling—no manual configuration needed.
• Optimized Performance: Uses event delegation and efficient tracking for low overhead.
• WCAG-Aligned Patterns: Implements common accessibility practices out of the box.
• First-Letter Navigation: Quickly select items by typing the first letter in dropdowns or select menus.
• State Tracking: Maintains consistent state awareness (open/close) across components.
• Modifier Key Awareness: Understands keys like Ctrl, Shift, Alt, and Meta for robust keyboard control.

FlyonUI components are built with accessibility best practices in mind, including:

• Semantic markup and utility-first classes
• Sufficient color contrast
• Meaningful ARIA attributes
• Screen reader testing

Note: While FlyonUI provides accessible defaults, achieving full WCAG compliance also depends on your implementation. Be sure to test components in your specific context.

FlyonUI is completely open source and free to use. You’re encouraged to explore, extend, and tailor components to meet your unique accessibility requirements.
