Core has several instances of aria-live for announcing UI changes aurally.
We plan to add more instances of aria-live elements to further exposes state changes to users who interact with Drupal through audio.
Just like string translation, we don't want each individual module developing a scheme to handle audio announcements. This type of functionality should be provided as a utility through Drupal because it is a common method of building aural UIs.
We should consolidate the existing aria-live implementations into a Drupal library and provide an API.
Review the proposed patch.
No UI changes.
We will introduce a new API for improving accessibility of page state changes.
Fixed
8.0 ⚰️
javascript
It affects the ability of people with disabilities or special needs (such as blindness or color-blindness) to use Drupal.
After being applied to the 8.x branch, it should be considered for backport to the 7.x branch. Note: This tag should generally remain even after the backport has been written, approved, and committed.
