Summary

Frameworks like React, Angular and Vue allow developers to build reusable components. We’ll look at different types of components and highlight the techniques needed to reuse them in an accessible manner.

Abstract

Frameworks like React, Angular and Vue allow developers to build reusable interactive components. Even if we build our individual components to be accessible, what problems arise when we integrate multiple components in a single view or nest multiple components inside one another? We’ll look at three types of components and learn how the interactions between components can have unintended consequences.

Keypoints

1. The accessibility of a component can change if reused incorrectly
2. How components should be used needs to be communicated to the team
3. Team members must always question whether the right component is being used for the task
