WAI-ARIA attributes

The toast component has been designed with WAI-ARIA specifications in mind by applying the prompt WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties with the keyboard support. It helps users who use assistive WAI-ARIA accessibility support, which is achieved using attributes.

It provides information about the elements in a document for assistive technology.

The toast component implements the keyboard navigation support by using the following WAI-ARIA practices and is tested in major screen readers.

Class Description

   <div id='app'>
         <ejs-toast ref='elementRef' timeOut=0 id='element' title='Matt sent you a friend request' content='You have a new friend request yet to accept'></ejs-toast>
    </div>
</template>

import { ToastComponent as EjsToast } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-notifications";
