accessibility-rs = "^0.0.59"

use accessibility_rs::{audit, AuditConfig};

fn main() {
  let html = r###"<html lang="en">
      <body>
          <a href="routes.html">

          </a>
      </body>
  </html>"###;
  let css = "";
  // pass in raw html, optional css, bounding box clips, and locale for audit
  let audit = accessibility_rs::audit(&AuditConfig::new(&html, &css, false, "en"));
  println!("{:?}", audit);
}

With the Tokio runtime.

[dependencies]
accessibility-rs = { version = "^0.0.59", features = ["tokio"]}

use accessibility_rs::{audit, AuditConfig};
use tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let html = r###"<html lang="en">
      <body>
          <a href="routes.html">
              <img src="topo.gif">
              Golf
          </a>
      </body>
  </html>"###;
  let css = "";
  // pass in raw html, optional css, bounding box clips, and locale for audit
  let audit = accessibility_rs::audit(&AuditConfig::new(&html, &css, false, "en")).await;
  println!("{:?}", audit);
}

With the Spider full website crawling.

[dependencies]
accessibility-rs = { version = "^0.0.61", features = ["spider"]}

use accessibility_rs::{audit, AuditConfig};
use tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let audit = accessibility_rs::audit(&AuditConfig::new_website(&"https://choosealicense.com".into())).await;
  println!("{:?}", audit);
}

Examples

Wasm example view kayle_innate.
Example integrating with a headless browser.

Crate Features

tokio: Enable tokio async runtime handling. Recommended for high freq server usage.
rayon: Parallelism with rayon. (Expensive test future handling)
rayon_wasm: Enable the wasm runtime for rayon.
spider: Crawl entire websites using spider. Full website audits of 100-1,000 pages within milliseconds.

Contributing

To help improve the rules the following needs to be done:

Add the rule to the tracking list - you can use the standards list and mappings here for help.
Add the logic of handling the rule to wcag_rule_map and the techniques.
Add unit test.
