Static AST checker for accessibility rules on JSX elements.
Ryan Florence built out this awesome runtime-analysis tool called react-a11y. It is super useful. However, since you're probably already using linting in your project, this plugin comes for free and closer to the actual development process. Pairing this plugin with an editor lint plugin, you can bake accessibility standards into your application in real-time.
Note: This project does not replace react-a11y, but can and should be used in conjunction with it. Static analysis tools cannot determine values of variables that are being placed in props before runtime, so linting will not fail if that value is undefined and/or does not pass the lint rule.
You'll first need to install ESLint:
# npm
npm install eslint --save-dev
# yarn
yarn add eslint --devNext, install eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y:
# npm
npm install eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y --save-dev
# yarn
yarn add eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y --devNote: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g flag in npm, or the global prefix in yarn) then you must also install eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y globally.
Add jsx-a11y to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:
{
"plugins": [
"jsx-a11y"
]
}Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.
{
"rules": {
"jsx-a11y/rule-name": 2
}
}You can also enable all the recommended rules at once. Add plugin:jsx-a11y/recommended in extends:
{
"extends": {
"plugin:jsx-a11y/recommended"
}
