Description

Problem to solve

When having a select checkbox for the tables the following happens by default

  • checkboxes get created (they have a label attached to it but no aria-label or aria-labelledby)
  • header checkbox doesnt have a label

Proposed solution

  • add to the header of the table select a label and aria-label prop that can be editable
  • at times the checkbox might not need to have the label displayed so aria-label should be the one that does the trick from an accessibility point of view

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Vuetify table component (likely in VDataTable or VSimpleTable) to find where header checkboxes are rendered. Look for existing `label` and `aria label` props on other components for pattern. Add similar props to the header checkbox, ensuring the `aria label` is used when no visible label is present.
