Accessibility traits are attributes that describe how a view can be interacted with and are essential for assistive technologies like VoiceOver. In SwiftUI, accessibility traits can be applied to elements to enhance the accessibility experience. For example, traits like istoggle
and isselected
can be used to describe the state and functionality of a toggle element, as mentioned in the session Catch up on accessibility in SwiftUI.
These traits help assistive technologies understand the purpose and state of UI elements, allowing users to interact with them effectively. Additionally, using built-in styles and accessibility modifiers in SwiftUI can automatically apply these traits, ensuring a consistent and accessible user experience.
