Reading #9269, I'm not 100% sure it's what @msftedad want, but we'll see when they review. In any case that seems like a valid aria-label an improvement that we'll want to merge.

I'd prefer if you didn't duplicate the button JSX because only 1 prop is different for the 2 cases

Hi @slorber its not "fix(a11y): fix docs sidebar category caret button accessibility, improve aria-label" as its not only for docs, it will affect the sidebar on every page using docusaurus. Its a change on the main product. The sidebar of the generated sites will have this a11y. Its better for users with screen readers to know if the sidebar category button is expand/collapse type so that they know the action they are performing.

Ignore if you mean the documentation site(site generated by docusaurus) as docs.

Sorry but I don't understand 😅

Hi @slorber, people who are visually impaired rely on screen readers, the screen readers read the content of the website to them. But some complex components like button with a icon, its really hard for them(screen readers) to know the function of the button, and they don't know what to say aloud. So aria-label is used to so that they know what the button does and they say that aloud. So, in sidebar, in dropdown now the screen reader will say if the dropdown is collapsed or expanded, so the visually impaired person can know if clicking it will collapse the menu or expand it. As docusaurus generates website, which has sidebar, so the now the newly created websites with docusaurus will have better a11y for such persons in the sidebar.

As previously it was reading "Toggle the collapsible sidebar category 'Getting Started'", so it was unclear now it will be reading "Expand/Collapse the collapsible sidebar category 'Getting Started" based on the button state.

Hope you understand it now. 😉

Thanks 👍

Just renamed the "isActive" props to "collapsed" because it's not super clear what isActive means if we extract later the button to a separate file
