Not seeing aria labels on day buttons

[iantbarker]

On the docs examples, the days buttons have an aria-label with the date on it, but on the newest versions, it doesn't have that label. Am I missing a setting to enable that or was this removed in some version? I tried different versions in a codesandbox and couldn't find one that includes the labels. It would really helpful to have those labels for jest testing purposes.

This is from a documentation instance:

This is what is on 8.2:

@iantbarker I can see the labels with the latest version: https://codesandbox.io/s/react-day-picker-8-vl4ry

Could you replicate your issue by forking this sandbox?

[iantbarker]

@gpbl I think I duplicated it by being on version 8.1.4 and react/react-dom at 16.9

@iantbarker please upgrade to 8.2 – that attribute has been added from that version in #1537.

Hi @gpbl, I see that from last v8.5.0 update, labelDay has been deprecated and aria-label removed. This causes each grid cell to be named by a number, see sandbox.

Prior to this change each grid cell stated the date in local format, which was nice in terms of a11y, see sandbox

Is there a reason why is the label being removed? Is there an alternative to print a localised date in the aria-label?

EDIT: There is a discussion that gives a clear reply about this: #1716

@driera sorry for the confusion about the labelDay. You can restore the previous behavior or use labelDay as you want by passing a custom DayContent component: #1774 (comment)

We will fix this better in the next major version. Thanks for your understanding.

It's ok @gpbl. I had not thought about the custom DayContent, I'll give it a try. Thanks!
