Original: The WCAG AA Checklist Every Angular Component Should Pass Before You Ship

Short summary

An experienced Angular developer shares a practical WCAG AA accessibility checklist organized by how bugs actually appear: keyboard interaction, focus management, and semantics/ARIA. Each item is marked whether automated tools like AXE can catch it or if manual testing is required, emphasizing that automated tools only find 30-40% of issues. The checklist includes concrete Angular-specific code examples for focus trapping with CDK, route change focus management, and proper ARIA on custom widgets.
