Accessibility

The root node has the role progressbar. The label prop is required, and the unitName prop is optional.

When unitName is specified, the aria-valuetext will work with aria-valuemax and aria-valuenow to read the pagination progress. For example, if unitName="Page", the aria-valuetext will read "Page aria-valuenow of aria-valuemax".
