Closes: #7542

Summary

We've received reports of a few accessibility (a11y) issues concerning the table component and the select/deselect row functionality. Could we consider adding an aria-label attribute to address these checkbox-related concerns?

Historically, this has been an old issue, and attempts have already been made to fix it by adding a selectableMessage. Unfortunately, we can't motivate everyone to override a default message. I suggest simply correcting the default values of aria-label/title

What was done?

  • aria-label and title attributes were updated.

@cee-chen @1Copenut. Thank you, @1Copenut, for providing a workaround to address that issue. However, I'm uncertain about proceeding with that solution because it requires overriding the selection-checkbox / setting selectableMessage for each table. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that we'll implement it consistently across all tables, and there's a risk that in the future, someone might create a table with the same issue. Instead, I believe we should address this issue at the EUI level once and for all. The fix seems straightforward.

@alexwizp Just to clarify - I don't object to making this baseline change to EuiTables, but I just want to make sure that you know the screenshot you posted in #7542 is of EuiDataGrid, not of EuiBasicTable. So if you're opening this PR to solve a specific production issue, it will not do that.

But if you're generally opening this PR to improve our baseline table accessibility, then great! We can move ahead.

@cee-chen Let's make similar changes to the DataGrid as part of this PR or a new one. I'll see on Monday how it works there

Unlike EuiBasicTable, EuiDataGrid has no OOTB checkboxes/selection functionality, so there's nothing to do there. It's almost entirely agnostic of content, and any selection accessibility fixes belong to the team implementing that datagrid.

We do have one datagrid example with row selection/checkboxes, but that already has row-indexed aria labels - so ideally consumers should be following it.

Great work on this and thanks for improving our default table accessibility! Ideally consumers would be using selectableMessage() to pass more specific checkbox titles per row of course, but this is a nice fallback.

I'll go ahead and commit the changelog copy tweak and then merge this in. Feel free to ping us in Slack or let us know have any follow-up questions around EuiDataGrid.

Just as a heads up, we don't normally update i18ntokens.json as part of our PRs, our weekly release script handles it automatically for us. I'll leave this in here though as it likely doesn't harm anything / the release script will update it again if needed in any case!

Really nice job with the variable naming here - I love how it clearly distinguishes the difference between the two passed index parameters!

`v93.6.0` ⏩ `v94.1.0`

> [!important]
> 👋 Hello everyone - this is a special release containing `EuiTable`'s
conversion to Emotion, several long-overdue cleanups and breaking
changes, and one or two fun new features. First, let's address the big
questions:

### Q: I'm listed as a codeowner, how much should I manually QA/review?

Answer: It depends on what exactly in your code changed, but _in
general_ I would strongly suggest at least pulling this branch down and
doing a quick visual smoke test of all tables (_note: **not**
datagrids_) in your apps/plugins. You should not expect to see any major
visual regressions.

If your table contained any kind of custom styling or behavior (e.g.
custom CSS, etc.) I **strongly** recommend taking more time to QA
thoroughly to ensure your table still looks and behaves as expected.
Teams with very manual or specific updates will be flagged below in
comment threads.

### Q: When do I need to review by?

This PR will be merged **after** 8.14FF. Because this upgrade touches so
many files and teams, we're aiming for asking for an admin merge by EOD
4/18 regardless of full approval status.

As always, you're welcome to ping us after merge if you find any issues
later ([see our
FAQ](https://github.com/elastic/eui/blob/main/wiki/eui-team-processes/upgrading-kibana.md#faq-for-kibana-teams)),
as you will have until 8.15FF to catch any bugs.

### Q: What breaking changes were made, and why?

Here's a quick shortlist of all the changes made that affected the
majority of the commits in this PR:

#### <u>Removed several top-level table props</u>
- The `responsive` prop has been removed in favor of the new
`responsiveBreakpoint` prop (same `false` behavior as before)
- The following props were removed from basic and in-memory tables:
  - `hasActions`, `isSelectable`, and `isExpandable`
- These props were not used for functionality and were only used for
styling tables in mobile/responsive views, which is not a best practice
pattern we wanted for our APIs. Mobile tables are now styled correctly
without needing consumers to pass these extra props.
  - `textOnly`
- This prop was unused and had no meaningful impact on tables or table
content.

#### Removed hidden mobile vs. desktop DOM

Previously, EUI would set classes that applied `display: none` CSS for
content that was hidden for mobile vs. desktop. This is no longer the
case, and content that only displays for mobile or only displays for
desktop will no longer render to the DOM at all if the table is not in
that responsive state.

This is both more performant when rendering large quantities of
cells/content, and simpler to write test assertions for when comparing
what the user actually sees vs. what the DOM ‘sees’.
(c3eeb08441e4b6efe6505e7cddaa87b540ddb259,
78cefcd954a7b46eaccd05e431b5e24dc86071a3)

#### Removed direct usages of table `className`s

EuiTable `classNames` no longer have any styles attached to them, so
some instances where Kibana usages were applying the `className` for
styles have been replaced with direct component usage or removed
entirely (86ce80b).

#### Custom table cell styles

Any custom CSS for table cells was previously being applied to the inner
`div.euiTableCellContent` wrapper. As of this latest release, the
`className` and `css` props will now be applied directly to the outer
`td.euiTableRowCell` element. If you were targeting custom styles table
cells, please re-QA your styles to ensure everything still looks as
expected.

the `row` header scope
([#7681](elastic/eui#7681))

**Accessibility**

- Improved `EuiBasicTable` and `EuiInMemoryTable`'s selection checkboxes
to have unique aria-labels per row
([#7672](elastic/eui#7672))

## [`v94.1.0`](https://github.com/elastic/eui/releases/v94.1.0)

- Updated `EuiTableHeaderCell` to show a subdued `sortable` icon for
columns that are not currently sorted but can be
([#7656](elastic/eui#7656))

`columns[].actions[]`'s to pass back click events to `onClick` callbacks

([#7667](elastic/eui#7667))

## [`v94.0.0`](https://github.com/elastic/eui/releases/v94.0.0)

- Updated `EuiTable`, `EuiBasicTable`, and `EuiInMemoryTable` with a new
`responsiveBreakpoint` prop, which allows customizing the point at which
the table collapses into a mobile-friendly view with cards
([#7625](elastic/eui#7625))
- Updated `EuiProvider`'s `componentDefaults` prop to allow configuring
`EuiTable.responsiveBreakpoint`
([#7625](elastic/eui#7625))

**Bug fixes**

- `EuiBasicTable` & `EuiInMemoryTable` `isPrimary` actions are now
correctly shown on mobile views
([#7640](elastic/eui#7640))
- Table `mobileOptions`:
([#7642](elastic/eui#7642))
- `mobileOptions.align` is now respected instead of all cells being
forced to left alignment
- `textTruncate` and `textOnly` are now respected even if a `render`
function is not passed

**Breaking changes**

- Removed unused `EuiTableHeaderButton` component
([#7621](elastic/eui#7621))
- Removed the `responsive` prop from `EuiTable`, `EuiBasicTable`, and

element, instead of to the inner cell content `<div>`.
([#7631](elastic/eui#7631))

`.euiTableRow-isSelectable` className if the selection checkbox is not
disabled ([#7632](elastic/eui#7632))
