react-focus-bounder

Focus bounder for React

About The Project

Focus looping component based on focus bounders.

This small React component will cover one of the important aspects to make a web-page accessible - looping (aka trapping) focus inside a DOM element.

Keyboard navigation is a basic requirement in making any product accessible. For web pages it can be achieved by combination of semantic HTML, tabIndex and aria attributes.

Focus looping is an important part of A11Y support. Good examples where a focus looping component can be used are a hamburger or dropdown menus and modal dialogs.
