How do I create a screen-reader friendly modal dialog in React?

Create a screen-reader friendly modal dialog in React using Headless UI primitives. This approach generates accessible, unstyled dialog components that automatically manage required ARIA attributes and focus trapping, ensuring compliance without manual accessibility configuration.

Does Headless UI support both React and Vue for building interactive elements?

Yes, Headless UI supports both React and Vue for building interactive elements. It provides accessible, unstyled primitives like listboxes, switches, tabs, and comboboxes for both frameworks, ensuring a consistent developer experience across different front-end ecosystems.
