Nick Gerleman 9db5fa215e Native ARIA Roles: Shared code (#37305)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/37305

### Stack

ARIA roles in React Native are implemented on top of `accessibilityRole`. This is lossy because there are many more ARIA roles than `accessibilityRole`. This is especially true for RN on desktop where `accessibilityRole` was designed around accessibility APIs only available on mobile.

This series of changes aims to change this implementation to instead pass the ARIA role to native, alongside any existing `accessibilityRole`. This gives the platform more control in exactly how to map an ARIA role to native behavior.

As an example, this would allow mapping any ARIA role to [`AutomationControlType`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.automation.peers.automationcontroltype?view=windowsdesktop-7.0&viewFallbackFrom=dotnet-uwp-10.0) on Windows without needing to fork to add new options to `accessibilityRole`.

It also allows greater implementation flexibility for other platforms down the line, but for now, iOS and Android behave the same as before (though with their implementation living in native).

### Diff

This syncs the Fabric representations of Roles to the current state of the world in JS, and adds usage to the view configs.
1. `Role` enum for the View `role` prop (ARIA role)
2. Sync enums and conversions to JS `AccessibilityRole`
    1. This parsing is done for `TextAttributes` only. `View` uses the string directly
    2. Add ARIA roles, and parse those to their enum form.
    3. Move enums from attributedstring primitves to accessibility primitives
3. Add to viewconfig to allow it to be passed

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.

  • Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
  • Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
  • Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
  • Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.

React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements

React Native apps may target iOS 12.4 and Android 5.0 (API 21) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.

🎉 Building your first React Native app

Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:

📖 Documentation

The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.

The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.

The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.

🚀 Upgrading

Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.

React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
