What?
Fix the
helpprop onToggleGroupControlso that it is programmatically associated with the control viaaria-describedby. Also refactor the component to useuseBaseControlPropsmore fully, delegating label and help rendering toBaseControl.Why?
The
helptext was being rendered visually but had no accessible association with the radiogroup (or button group, in theisDeselectablecase). Screen reader users would not hear the help text when interacting with the control.The component was also hand-rolling its
hideLabelFromVisionlogic and not using theidfromuseBaseControlProps, duplicating whatBaseControlalready provides.How?
useBaseControlPropswithid,help,label, andhideLabelFromVision, and spread the returned props ontoBaseControland the inner control.idand addsaria-describedbyto the radiogroup/button group.BaseControlnow handles label rendering (including thehideLabelFromVisioncase), removing the need for the manualVisualLabelWrapperandBaseControl.VisualLabelusage.VisualLabelWrapperstyled component (and thestyledimport from Emotion).Testing Instructions
