2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 2 stars2 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Web Accessibility (WCAG 2.1)
Build accessible web applications that work for everyone.
ARIA Patterns
Button
<button
type="button"
aria-pressed={isPressed}
aria-disabled={isDisabled}
onClick={handleClick}
>
Toggle Feature
</button>
Modal Dialog
<div
role="dialog"
aria-modal="true"
aria-labelledby="modal-title"
aria-describedby="modal-description"
>
<h2 id="modal-title">Confirm Action</h2>
<p id="modal-description">Are you sure you want to proceed?</p>
<button onClick={onConfirm}>Confirm</button>
<button onClick={onCancel}>Cancel</button>
</div>
Navigation Menu
<nav aria-label="Main navigation">
<ul role="menubar">
<li role="none">
<a role="menuitem" href="/home">Home</a>
</li>
<li role="none">
<button
role="menuitem"
aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded={isOpen}
>
Products
</button>
{isOpen && (
<ul role="menu" aria-label="Products submenu">
<li role="none">
<a role="menuitem" href="/products/new">New</a>
</li>
</ul>
)}
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Keyboard Navigation
Focus Management
import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
function Modal({ isOpen, onClose, children }) {
const modalRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const previousFocus = useRef<HTMLElement | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
if (isOpen) {
previousFocus.current = document.activeElement as HTMLElement;
modalRef.current?.focus();
} else {
previousFocus.current?.focus();
}
}, [isOpen]);
// Trap focus within modal
const handleKeyDown = (e: React.KeyboardEvent) => {
if (e.key === 'Escape') {
onClose();
}
if (e.key === 'Tab') {
const focusable = modalRef.current?.querySelectorAll(
'button, [href], input, select, textarea, [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])'
);
if (focusable && focusable.length > 0) {
const first = focusable[0] as HTMLElement;
const last = focusable[focusable.length - 1] as HTMLElement;
if (e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === first) {
e.preventDefault();
last.focus();
} else if (!e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === last) {
e.preventDefault();
first.focus();
}
}
}
};
if (!isOpen) return null;
return (
<div
ref={modalRef}
role="dialog"
aria-modal="true"
tabIndex={-1}
onKeyDown={handleKeyDown}
>
{children}
</div>
);
}
Color Contrast
Minimum contrast ratios (WCAG AA):
- Normal text: 4.5:1
- Large text (18pt+): 3:1
- UI components: 3:1
function getContrastRatio(color1: string, color2: string): number {
const lum1 = getLuminance(color1);
const lum2 = getLuminance(color2);
const lighter = Math.max(lum1, lum2);
const darker = Math.min(lum1, lum2);
return (lighter + 0.05) / (darker + 0.05);
}
function getLuminance(hex: string): number {
const rgb = hexToRgb(hex);
const [r, g, b] = rgb.map((c) => {
c = c / 255;
return c <= 0.03928 ? c / 12.92 : Math.pow((c + 0.055) / 1.055, 2.4);
});
return 0.2126 * r + 0.7152 * g + 0.0722 * b;
}
Accessible Forms
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<div>
<label htmlFor="email">
Email address
<span aria-hidden="true">*</span>
<span className="sr-only">(required)</span>
</label>
<input
id="email"
type="email"
aria-required="true"
aria-invalid={errors.email ? 'true' : 'false'}
aria-describedby={errors.email ? 'email-error' : undefined}
/>
{errors.email && (
<p id="email-error" role="alert" className="error">
{errors.email}
</p>
)}
</div>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Screen Reader Only Content
.sr-only {
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
height: 1px;
padding: 0;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
white-space: nowrap;
border: 0;
}
Testing
# Automated testing
npm install -D axe-core @axe-core/react
# In tests
import { axe, toHaveNoViolations } from 'jest-axe';
expect.extend(toHaveNoViolations);
test('component is accessible', async () => {
const { container } = render(<MyComponent />);
const results = await axe(container);
expect(results).toHaveNoViolations();
});
