Data entity
Data entity
Easy to use for everyone
The data entity component is descriptive and designed to inform the user in a comprehensive format about their inputs before making a submission. By including an interaction area, it provides users with a direct link or action to interact with an individual row.
For Assistive Technology
The data entity can either be interactive or non-interactive. It is therefore included in the tab-indexing for keyboard navigation as individual entity items, allowing it to be read out by screen readers using the aria-current attribute.
