React Accessibility Libraries and A11y Kits
May 8, 2026 · 5 min read
A pretty dialog that traps focus badly is a bug. Use primitives that already handle keyboard, ARIA, and reduced motion.
Prefer primitives with ARIA
Headless UI, Radix, React Aria, and similar kits encode patterns you should not re-invent: dialogs, tabs, comboboxes.
eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y catches missing labels. It does not replace a real keyboard pass.
How to browse
Open the Accessibility category and Headless UI for live npm results.
Check whether the package documents screen-reader testing, not only class names.
