Accessibility

Remember to use the correct role, aria- and html-attributes for the menu options.

<nav
    class="if dropdown-menu is-open"
    tabindex="-1"
    role="menu"
    aria-labelledby="menu-0123-trigger"
    id="menu-0123"
>
    <ul class="if is-open">
        <li class="if">
            <button tabindex="-1" role="menuitem" class="if" type="button">Reimburse</button>
        </li>
    </ul>
</nav>

When the user navigates the Dropdown Menu with arrow keys, update the selected state with aria-selected.

if (e.key == 'ArrowUp') {
    nextElement = allOptions[--indexOfOptions];
    if (!nextElement) {
        indexOfOptions = allOptions.length - 1;
        nextElement = allOptions[indexOfOptions];
    }

    removePreviouslySelectedMenuItem(menuList);
    nextElement.classList.add('is-focused');
    nextElement.setAttribute('aria-selected', true);
} else if (e.key == 'ArrowDown') {
    nextElement = allOptions[++indexOfOptions];
    if (!nextElement) {
        indexOfOptions = 0;
        nextElement = allOptions[indexOfOptions];
    }
    removePreviouslySelectedMenuItem(menuList);
    nextElement.classList.add('is-focused');
    nextElement.setAttribute('aria-selected', true);
}
