## Accessibility
### Checkbox
#### Example Components
- [ion-checkbox](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/tree/master/core/src/components/checkbox)
#### VoiceOver
In order for VoiceOver to work properly with a checkbox component there must be a native `input` with `type="checkbox"`, and `aria-checked` and `role="checkbox"` **must** be on the host element. The `aria-hidden` attribute needs to be added if the checkbox is disabled, preventing iOS users from selecting it:
```tsx
render() {
const { checked, disabled } = this;
return (
<Host
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="checkbox"
>
<input
type="checkbox"
/>
...
</Host>
);
}
```
#### NVDA
It is required to have `aria-checked` on the native input for checked to read properly and `disabled` to prevent tabbing to the input:
```tsx
render() {
const { checked, disabled } = this;
return (
<Host
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="checkbox"
>
<input
type="checkbox"
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
disabled={disabled}
/>
...
</Host>
);
}
```
#### Labels
A helper function has been created to get the proper `aria-label` for the checkbox. This can be imported as `getAriaLabel` like the following:
```tsx
const { label, labelId, labelText } = getAriaLabel(el, inputId);
```
where `el` and `inputId` are the following:
```tsx
export class Checkbox implements ComponentInterface {
private inputId = `ion-cb-${checkboxIds++}`;
@Element() el!: HTMLElement;
...
}
```
This can then be added to the `Host` like the following:
```tsx
<Host
aria-labelledby={label ? labelId : null}
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="checkbox"
>
```
In addition to that, the checkbox input should have a label added:
```tsx
<Host
aria-labelledby={label ? labelId : null}
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="checkbox"
>
<label htmlFor={inputId}>
{labelText}
</label>
<input
type="checkbox"
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
disabled={disabled}
id={inputId}
/>
```
#### Hidden Input
A helper function to render a hidden input has been added, it can be added in the `render`:
```tsx
renderHiddenInput(true, el, name, (checked ? value : ''), disabled);
```
> This is required for the checkbox to work with forms.
#### Known Issues
When using VoiceOver on macOS, Chrome will announce the following when you are focused on a checkbox:
```
currently on a checkbox inside of a checkbox
```
This is a compromise we have to make in order for it to work with the other screen readers & Safari.
### Switch
#### Example Components
- [ion-toggle](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/tree/master/core/src/components/toggle)
#### Voiceover
In order for VoiceOver to work properly with a switch component there must be a native `input` with `type="checkbox"` and `role="switch"`, and `aria-checked` and `role="switch"` **must** be on the host element. The `aria-hidden` attribute needs to be added if the switch is disabled, preventing iOS users from selecting it:
```tsx
render() {
const { checked, disabled } = this;
return (
<Host
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="switch"
>
<input
type="checkbox"
role="switch"
/>
...
</Host>
);
}
```
#### NVDA
It is required to have `aria-checked` on the native input for checked to read properly and `disabled` to prevent tabbing to the input:
```tsx
render() {
const { checked, disabled } = this;
return (
<Host
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="switch"
>
<input
type="checkbox"
role="switch"
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
disabled={disabled}
/>
...
</Host>
);
}
```

const { label, labelId, labelText } = getAriaLabel(el, inputId);
```
where `el` and `inputId` are the following:
```tsx
export class Toggle implements ComponentInterface {
private inputId = `ion-tg-${toggleIds++}`;
@Element() el!: HTMLElement;
...
}
```
This can then be added to the `Host` like the following:
```tsx
<Host
aria-labelledby={label ? labelId : null}
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="switch"
>
```
In addition to that, the checkbox input should have a label added:
```tsx
<Host
aria-labelledby={label ? labelId : null}
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
aria-hidden={disabled ? 'true' : null}
role="switch"
>
<label htmlFor={inputId}>
{labelText}
</label>
<input
type="checkbox"
role="switch"
aria-checked={`${checked}`}
disabled={disabled}
id={inputId}
/>
```

```tsx
renderHiddenInput(true, el, name, (checked ? value : ''), disabled);
```
> This is required for the switch to work with forms.
#### Known Issues
When using VoiceOver on macOS or iOS, Chrome will announce the switch as a checked or unchecked `checkbox`:
```
You are currently on a switch. To select or deselect this checkbox, press Control-Option-Space.
```
There is a WebKit bug open for this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196354
