Here are some of the libraries and articles/code sets I've bookmarked.
Maybe report back to the list to indicate which one you choose, and why.
Or write up a blog post about pros/cons/currency.
Or probably best of all, contribute to improvements!

I think the one previously suggested is old, so I would not recommend it.
However, I'll be glad to be corrected re. age/maintenance doesn't matter.

Hope this helps folks, but everyone should always check dates!!,
including with respect to what's here.

I'm tossing in a lot of info which goes beyond the original question.
Why? In hopes of preventing duplication.

*** Angular:
You mentioned Angular, so here's a fairly recent video-presentation.
Hopefully, it'll give you pointers if you choose that route and
hopefully efforts begun to fix it will continue:

Goes way beyond accessibility, but they did open source their
accessibility examples from the book put out a few years ago:
