Remove redundant `role` attributes #4854

querkmachine · 2024-03-12T11:02:57Z

Closes #4708.

Changes

Removes role attributes in components and review app examples for each of the following:
- banner role on header
- contentinfo role on footer
- main role on main
- navigation role on nav
- complementary role on aside
- region role on section
- article role on article
Removes component tests checking for the existence of these roles.
Updates the html-validate config to:
- Remove the no-redundant-role rule override. This now defaults back to not allowing redundant role attributes.
- Add an exception for the use of the group role on fieldset elements, which we're maintaining for assistive technology support.

Action run for 4bfd65d

These roles were included to help support older browsers that did not have the role implied by the HTML element. As we no longer support those browsers in Frontend, we can get rid of our explicit role attributes on the following elements: - the `banner` role on `header` - the `contentinfo` role on `footer` - the `main` role on `main` - the `navigation` role on `nav` - the `complementary` role on `aside` - the `region` role on `section` - the `article` role on `article`

Removes the `no-redundant-role` override. This now defaults to not allowing redundant `role` attributes. Adds an exception for `fieldset`s with a `role` of `group`, which we're choosing to maintain for assistive technology support.

By my eye you got them all. It feels a bit weird that there are now no tests for the default header but that's not a today problem.

See: * https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/releases/tag/v5.3.0 * alphagov/govuk-frontend#4854 Note that the 'region' role has not been removed in the few places where it is currently used as they are not in section tags.
