videojs Accessibility
Start from the rendered semantics and interaction contract. Prefer native HTML; add ARIA only where native semantics cannot express the control.
Workflow
- Read the component, its rendered output, interaction tests, and adjacent accessible controls.
- Define expected name, role, value/state, keyboard behavior, focus behavior, and announcements.
- Load only the applicable reference:
- Keyboard:
references/keyboard.md - Focus:
references/focus.md - Roles and states:
references/aria.md - React-specific implementation:
references/react.md - Media-player behavior:
references/media.md - Suspected smell:
references/anti-patterns.md
- Keyboard:
- Implement the smallest semantic change and add behavior-focused tests.
- Verify keyboard and focus behavior in a browser when interaction changed.
Never remove visible focus without a replacement, use positive tabindex, convey meaning only with color, or use a changing label where a state attribute is the correct contract.
Example
Input: “Make the custom volume slider keyboard accessible.”
Output: Correct native or ARIA semantics, keyboard and focus behavior, announcements, focused tests, and browser verification.
