Screen Reader

Menu component uses the menu role and the value to describe the menu can either be provided with aria-labelledby or aria-label props. Each list item has a presentation role whereas anchor elements have a menuitem role with aria-label referring to the label of the item and aria-disabled defined if the item is disabled. A submenu within a Menu uses the group role with an aria-labelledby defined as the id of the submenu root menuitem label.

In popup mode, the component implicitly manages the aria-expanded, aria-haspopup and aria-controls attributes of the target element to define the relation between the target and the popup.
