What is dom-accessibility-api?

The dom-accessibility-api package is a library that provides utility functions for querying and manipulating the accessibility tree of DOM elements. It allows developers to retrieve accessible names and descriptions, roles, and other properties related to accessibility, which are crucial for building web applications that are compliant with accessibility standards.

What are dom-accessibility-api's main functionalities?

Getting the accessible name

This feature allows you to retrieve the accessible name of a DOM element, which is the name that screen readers will announce to users.

import { getAccessibleName } from 'dom-accessibility-api';
const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
const accessibleName = getAccessibleName(element);

Getting the accessible description

This feature allows you to retrieve the accessible description of a DOM element, providing additional context to assistive technologies.

import { getAccessibleDescription } from 'dom-accessibility-api';
const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
const accessibleDescription = getAccessibleDescription(element);

Getting the role

This feature allows you to get the computed role of a DOM element, which is used by assistive technologies to understand the purpose of the element.

import { getRole } from 'dom-accessibility-api';
const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
const role = getRole(element);
