A note on focus outlines
You may see focus outlines around your h1
elements (or elsewhere, per primaryFocusTarget
) when using Oaf Reach Router.
You might be tempted to remove these focus outlines with something like the following:
[
Don't do this! Focus outlines are important for accessibility. See for example:
- https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms-focus-visible.html
- https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20161007/F78

Note that Bootstrap 4 unfortunately removes these focus outlines. If you use Bootstrap, you can restore them with Oaf Bootstrap 4.
All that said, if you absolutely must remove focus outlines (stubborn client, stubborn boss, stubborn designer, whatever), consider using the :focus-visible
polyfill so focus outlines are only hidden from mouse users, not keyboard users.
