Value to describe the component can either be provided with aria-labelledby or aria-label props. The select element has a combobox role in addition to aria-haspopup and aria-expanded attributes. If the editable option is enabled aria-autocomplete is also added. The relation between the combobox and the popup is created with aria-controls and aria-activedescendant attribute is used to instruct screen reader which option to read during keyboard navigation within the popup list.
The popup list has an id that refers to the aria-controls attribute of the combobox element and uses listbox as the role. Each list item has an option role, an id to match the aria-activedescendant of the input element along with aria-label, aria-selected and aria-disabled attributes.
If filtering is enabled, filterInputProps can be defined to give aria-* props to the filter input element.
