Note: use this code at your own risk. It is optimized for backwards-compatibility, not as a forward-looking polyfill that keeps up to date with web standards.

Polyfill for ARIA string reflection on Elements. This is part of the Accessibility Object Model (AOM).

For example:

element.setAttribute('aria-pressed', 'true');
console.log(element.ariaPressed); // true
element.ariaPressed = false;
console.log(element.getAttribute('aria-pressed')); // false

Note that the attribute aria-pressed is reflected to the property ariaPressed, and vice versa.

Usage

npm install @lwc/aria-reflection

import '@lwc/aria-reflection';

The polyfill is applied globally to Element.prototype as soon as the module is imported.
