WAD on Vue: complete compliance checklist
Implementing WAD compliance on Vue means addressing the platform's specific failure modes (custom components, transition handling without reduced-motion) while applying EU Web Accessibility Directive success criteria across content, code, and editorial workflow.
WAD in 60 seconds
The EU Web Accessibility Directive (Directive (EU) 2016/2102) requires public-sector bodies in all EU member states to make their websites and mobile apps accessible per EN 301 549, with mandatory accessibility statements and a complaints mechanism — operative since September 2018 for new sites and September 2020 for all sites.
Vue accessibility — what you are starting with
Vue's template syntax encourages semantic HTML more than React's JSX abstraction. Failures originate in custom interactive components.

Putting it together
Combine WAD's Level AA requirements with Vue's native tooling. Bake accessibility into your component library and editorial workflow; instrument axe-core in CI for regression.
