Accessibility

It is important to be aware of potential accessibility issues with your app. You may familiarize yourself with accessibility concerns by visiting the A11Y project website at https://a11yproject.com. Material itself provides additional tooling to help you improve accessibility; you can read about it at https://material.angular.io/cdk/a11y/overview.

Leveraging such Material features may feel unnecessary; however, you must consider responsiveness, styling, spacing, and accessibility concerns when designing your app. The Material team has put in a lot of effort so that your code works correctly under most circumstances and can serve the largest possible user base with a high-quality UX. This can include visually impaired or keyboard-primary users, who must rely on specialized software or keyboard features such as tabs to navigate your app. Leveraging Material elements provides crucial metadata for these users to be able to navigate your app.
