Why
Screen readers and accessibility tools do not inherently have context about the meaning or purpose of the table itself.
I opened a feature request for this #1272 and had some time to work on it.
What
This PR adds an optional
ariaLabelstring property to the table component. This property sets thearia-labelattribute, providing context for screen readers. IfariaLabelis not provided, thearia-labelattribute will not be added.This change has no visual impact, just useful for accessibility.
