The Banner component now uses
aria-labelledby
pointing to theBanner.Title
element as the default labeling mechanism for the landmark region, instead of using generic variant labels like "Information" or "Warning".Problem
Previously, Banner components were labeled with generic variant-based labels:
This meant screen reader users heard "Warning region" instead of the more descriptive "Repository archived region", making it harder to understand the purpose of each banner.
Solution
The Banner now automatically generates unique IDs for title elements and uses
aria-labelledby
to reference them:This works for both the
title
prop andBanner.Title
component usage:Backward Compatibility
Existing override patterns continue to work unchanged:
Implementation
