Update Breadcrumbs to use nav and aria-label
We've made changes to the Breadcrumbs component to improve how it appears to screen readers.
We've changed the wrapping element to use the nav tag to expose it as a navigational landmark, and added an aria-label attribute to differentiate it as breadcrumb navigation.
This change was introduced in [pull request #4995: Update Breadcrumb component to improve screen reader accessibility](alphagov/govuk-frontend#4995).
Fixes
We've made fixes to GOV.UK Frontend in the following pull requests:
To install this version with npm, run npm install govuk-frontend@5.4.0. You can also find more information about how to stay up to date in our documentation.
This release includes new features to help you include only the components your service uses. Doing this can help reduce the size of the JavaScript and CSS files sent to users, improving their experience.
New features
Create individual components with createAll
We've added a new createAll function that lets you initialise specific components in the same way that initAll does.
The createAll function will:
find all elements in the page with the corresponding data-module attribute
instantiate a component object for each element
catch errors and log them in the console
return an array of all the successfully instantiated component objects.
import { createAll, Button, Checkboxes } from 'govuk-frontend'
createAll(Button)
createAll(Checkboxes)
You can also pass a config object and a scope within which to search for elements.
