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 development article, I covered using an array of navigation objects to determine conditions and shift focus between components.

This article covers Tab Key navigation.

Note: This article is one of a series demonstrating building 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 builds on the previous one until a fully implemented navigation component is complete.
