Iโ€™m very happy to announce the latest minor version to Vuetensils. And without going any further, I should point out that I think this is going to be the last stop before a stable version 1 ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

This release includes some nice new UI components, some components for better accessibility, some features for better development, and some new community updates. Letโ€™s take a look.

VDate

Probably the feature I am most proud of is the VDate component. It provides an accessible date picker with tons of features for keyboard navigation:

  • Manages ARIA roles, labels, and attributes.
  • Manages focus ring and traps focus within the calendar.
  • Provides keyboard navigation support.
  • Supports passing in min and max date props.

This component was long overdue, as it was one of the first ones I wanted to build. But there is so much to consider when building a component like this, and a lot of complexity in it. Quite satisfied with having finished it.
