An accessibility visualization toolkit
Try tota11y in your browser, or read why we built tota11y.
First, grab the latest release of tota11y.
Then, include it right before </body> like so:
<script src="tota11y.min.js"></script>Want to contribute to tota11y? Awesome! Run the following in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/Khan/tota11y.git
cd tota11y/
npm install
Most of the functionality in tota11y comes from its plugins. Each plugin
gets its own directory in plugins/ and maintains its own JavaScript, CSS,
and even handlebars. Here's what the simple LandmarksPlugin looks like.
plugins/shared/ contains a variety of shared utilities for the plugins, namely the info-panel and annotate modules, which are used to report accessibility violations on the screen.
index.js brings it all together.
tota11y uses a variety of technologies, including jQuery, webpack, babel, and JSX. There's no need to know all (or any!) of these to contribute to tota11y, but we hope tota11y is a good place to learn something new and interesting.
You can run unit tests on tota11y with the following:
npm test
Or lint with:
npm run lint
To perform manual testing as you work, you can run a live dev-server with the following:
npm run live-test
Then navigate to http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/test/. This page
will automatically reload with changes.
You can build a bundled copy of tota11y with:
npm run build
Many of tota11y's features come straight from Google Chrome's Accessibility Developer Tools. We use this library heavily at Khan Academy.
