Non-percantage progress

If the status that displays with the bar is not a percentage, then the ARIA tag aria-valuetext should be used to provide this status to screen reader users. This is the only case when setting the aria-valuemax to a value other than "100" is recommended, given how different screen readers handle these attributes.

Overview

Accessibility

If this component is describing the loading progress of a particular region of a page, the author should use aria-describedby to point to the status, and set the aria-busy attribute to true on the region until it is finished loading.

AttributeApplied toOutcome
role="progressbar".pf-c-progress__barThis role is used for an element that displays the progress status for a task that takes a long time or consists of several steps.
aria-valuenow="".pf-c-progress__barThis value needs to be updated as progress continues.
aria-valuemin="0".pf-c-progress__barThe minimum value for the progress bar.
aria-valuemax="100".pf-c-progress__barThe maximum value for the progress bar. If the progress is only defined using aria-valuenow (e.g a percentage), the value should be set to "100". If the progress is defined using aria-valuetext, then this value can be a number other than 100. For example, if aria-valuetext is "2 of 5 units", then aria-valuemax can be "5" and aria-valuenow can be "2".
aria-describedby="[id of .pf-c-progress__description]".pf-c-progress__barThe description of what progress is being shown.
aria-valuetext="[loading state]".pf-c-progress__barProvide a text string that communicates current status. Only use if the important information about status is included in the text string. Do not use if percentage is the most important value to communicate. Some screen readers will ignore the percentage value determined from aria-valuenow when aria-valuetext is used.
aria-hidden="true".pf-c-progress__statusHides the visible progress bar status from screen readers. This information is communicated by the aria attributes defined on the .pf-c-progress__bar element.
