Time:12-14

I am working through some accessibility issues that appear in material-table. One issue is with screen readers. I want to recreate the default row number select field which appears along side the material-table pagination. desired outcome

The only success I have had is to add rows as an end adornment, but this is only covered by the arrow icon and it is not clickable. current outcome

I want the select field to look like this desired outcome

TablePagination has an attribute called rowsPerPageOptions dedicated to manipulate this select field.
It accepts either an array of numbers, or an array of specific objects with value and label keys.

<TablePagination
  rowsPerPageOptions={[
    { label: "5 rows", value: 5 },
    { label: "10 rows", value: 10 },
    { label: "25 rows", value: 25 },
    { label: "All", value: -1 },
  ]}
  //other props
/>

To create a select field in JavaScript with appended text that does not affect the field value, you can use the append() method to add a new element to the end of the select field's container element. This new element can be a span or label element that contains the appended text, and it can be styled to look like it is part of the select field.

For example, you can use the following code to create a select field and append some text to it:

// Create a select field
var select = document.createElement("select");

// Add options to the select field
var option1 = document.createElement("option");
option1.value = "value1";
option1.text = "Option 1";
select.appendChild(option1);

var option2 = document.createElement("option");
option2.value = "value2";
option2.text = "Option 2";
select.appendChild(option2);

// Append some text to the select field
var text = document.createElement("span");
text.innerHTML = "Text to append";
text.style.color = "gray";
select.appendChild(text);

// Add the select field to the page
document.body.appendChild(select);

This code will create a select field with two options, and it will append the text "Text to append" to the end of the select field. The text will be displayed in gray to indicate that it is not part of the actual select field. When the user selects an option from the select field, the appended text will not affect the field's value.
