We use igGrids widely in our codebase. Our ui is such that if you double click or press enter after selecting row, an action takes place. IgGrid does not provide an API through which we can specify the additional responsibility of row. In our case for example, it should a row as well as button.
ignite-ui version: any
browser: any
Steps to reproduce
Intiate igGrid from javascript code.
On the cellclick events, bind a handler that does some action.
Use NVDA to move through the rows, see that there is no information available that can tell the user that this element can work as a button.
Violated Accessibility Guideline
This viloates WCAG success criterion 4.1.2 - Name, Role, Value.
Result
User does not have enough information in an element to know the rows can perform other actions too.
Expected result
IgGrid should provide an API that can enable the consuming code to tell igGrid about any other actions the rows are going to perform. This additional information needs to be present in html in such a way that the assistive technology can read it. For example, NVDA should be able to state that this is a row but it also is a button.
