[AriaNotify] Is NotificationId the right name?
Opened this issue · 2 comments
The current design of AriaNotify, as outlined in the spec PR and the explainer, includes a notificationId, which is a non-localized string that can be optionally used by an author to provide an AT with further context about the notification.
We have received feedback that the name notificationId is confusing, as the name implies identification rather than a way to tag common notifications across various web applications, and the name also implies that the ID would potentially need to be unique.
As such, the proposal is to update the name of notificationId to type as suggested in #1958 (comment) to better describe what the property's true intention is.
Observe that type is already a pretty overloaded term, could we consider notificationType or something that is more specific?
@MelSumner I would be open to notificationType. The main question I have is if it would be redundant if used inside ariaNotify(). i.e. Is the 'notification' piece implied in this case? I'm not opposed to a more specific name, like notificationType, though.
