What is pa11y?

Pa11y is an automated accessibility testing tool that helps developers ensure their web applications meet accessibility standards. It can be used to run accessibility tests on web pages and generate reports on any issues found.

What are pa11y's main functionalities?

Run Accessibility Tests

This feature allows you to run accessibility tests on a given URL. The results will include any accessibility issues found on the page.

const pa11y = require('pa11y');

(async () => {
    const results = await pa11y('https://example.com');
    console.log(results);
})();

Custom Configuration

Pa11y allows you to customize the accessibility tests by specifying standards (like WCAG2AA) and other options such as taking a screenshot of the page.

const pa11y = require('pa11y');

(async () => {
    const results = await pa11y('https://example.com', {
        standard: 'WCAG2AA',
        screenCapture: './screenshot.png'
    });
    console.log(results);
})();

Programmatic API

You can use Pa11y's programmatic API to perform actions on the page before running the accessibility tests. This is useful for testing dynamic content.

const pa11y = require('pa11y');

(async () => {
    const results = await pa11y('https://example.com', {
        actions: [
            'click element #button',
            'wait for element #result to be visible'
        ]
    });
    console.log(results);
})();
