Prologue
A while ago, I decided to develop a fully accessible main navigation component in React and write a series of articles documenting the steps it took to create a non-trivial accessible component.
In my last article, I covered creating the underlying data structures for supporting keyboard handling between components.
This article, along with its accompanying release, focuses on the design and styling of a navigation component whose first row is laid out vertically, consistent with mobile navigation.
Note: This article is one of a series demonstrating how to build a React navigational component from scratch while considering accessibility through the process. The articles are accompanied by a GitHub repository with releases tied to one or more articles; each building on the previous, until a fully implemented navigation component is complete.
