Re: Practical examples of implementing WCAG 2.2 focus appearance

My experience as a developer with

>practical patterns or component libraries that already meet these
requirements “out of the box”?

is that the libraries state they meet the requirements out of the box and
are accessibility ready but they don't they just provide a little bit of
syntactical sugar to make doing the right thing accessibility wise work -
but you still need to do that thing. And since the library has been chosen
with the idea that you don't need to do anything because you chose the
library nothing gets done until late and then you have basically a legacy
code problem because nobody gave any thought to accessibility because the
library would do it for you.
