</Flex>

Accessibility

The Indicator component includes several accessibility features:

Uses role="status" to indicate its purpose to screen readers
Provides appropriate aria-label based on the content:
- Uses custom ariaLabel prop if provided
- Falls back to the label text if available
- Uses a default "indicator" if neither is provided
Hides decorative dot from screen readers when no label is present

Example with custom aria label:

<Indicator variant="danger" label="3" aria-label="3 unread messages">
  <div
    style={{
      padding: "0px 12px",
      fontSize: "14px",
      border: "1px solid var(--rs-color-border-base-primary)",
      borderRadius: "var(--rs-radius-2)",
    }}>
    Content with custom aria label
  </div>
</Indicator>
