fix(ngAria): Apply ARIA attrs correctly
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
BREAKING CHANGE: Where appropriate, ngAria now applies ARIA to custom controls only, not native inputs. Because of this, support for `aria-multiline` on textareas has been removed. 

New support added for ngValue, ngChecked, and ngRequired, along with updated documentation.

Closes angular#13078
Closes angular#11374
Closes angular#11830

<h2 id="ngvaluechecked">ngValue and ngChecked</h2>

To ease the transition between native inputs and custom controls, ngAria now supports
[ngValue](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngValue) and [ngChecked](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngChecked). The original directives were created for native inputs only, so ngAria extends
support to custom elements by managing `aria-checked` for accessibility.

###Example

```html
<custom-checkbox ng-checked="val"></custom-checkbox>
<custom-radio-button ng-value="val"></custom-radio-button>
```

Becomes:

```html
<custom-checkbox ng-checked="val" aria-checked="true"></custom-checkbox>

<h2 id="ngrequired">ngRequired</h2>

The boolean `required` attribute is only valid for native form controls such as `input` and
`textarea`. To properly indicate custom element directives such as `<md-checkbox>` or `<custom-input>`
as required, using ngAria with [ngRequired](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/input)
will also add `aria-disabled`. This tells accessibility APIs when a custom control is required.

```html
<md-checkbox ng-required="val"></md-checkbox>

```html
<md-checkbox ng-required="val" aria-required="true"></md-checkbox>

* For ngAria to do its magic, simply include the module `ngAria` as a dependency. The following
* directives are supported:
