ScreenReaderOnly

How to use ScreenReaderOnly

• The ScreenReaderOnly wrapper will apply style to the element which moves it out of the viewport but not out of your pages context.
• Make sure child elements don't have overwriting positioning

Import

import { ScreenReaderOnly } from '@contentful/f36-components';
// or
import { ScreenReaderOnly } from '@contentful/f36-core';
