@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js

Unstyled React components and hooks to integrate with A11yWatch using tailwindcss.

Built with performant, native, customizable components, and hooks that can be used for any situation as in re-building custom accessibility solutions, special audit pages, external handling of A11yWatch and much more.

You need a paid plan to use the API and components externally outside of A11yWatch Lite.

Getting Started

npm install @a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js

Required Dependencies

If you plan on upgrading user accounts externally @stripe/stripe-js and @stripe/react-stripe-js is required.

react. ^16
optional: @stripe/stripe-js
optional: @stripe/react-stripe-js.

This package handles the above as peers and require installation manually.

Usage

First wrap the section of the app that needs to use A11yWatch with the A11yWatchProvider.

The persist prop stores user data to disk if set to true.

import { A11yWatchProvider, setAPIURL } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";

// optional: set apiURL - you can also use the env.NEXT_PUBLIC_A11YWATCH_API or window.NEXT_PUBLIC_A11YWATCH_API
setAPIURL("http://localhost:3280");

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <A11yWatchProvider persist>
      <App />
    </A11yWatchProvider>
  );
}

Now inside the App component you can use the hooks.

import { useA11yWatchContext } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";

export default function App() {
  const { account } = useA11yWatchContext();
  return <div>Email {account.email}</div>;
}

Use the SignOnForm component to authenticate.

import { useA11yWatchContext, SignOnForm } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";

export default function App() {
  const { account } = useA11yWatchContext();

  return (
    <div>
      Welcome {account.email ? account.email : null}
      <SignOnForm />
    </div>
  );
}

Select a payment plan to prep account upgrade first add the PaymentsProvider.

import { PaymentsProvider } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/providers/payments";

export default function Payments() {
  return (
    <PaymentsProvider>
      <App />
    </PaymentsProvider>
  );
}

import { usePaymentsContext } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/providers/payments";
import { PaymentPlans } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/components/payment-plans";

export default function PaymentsView() {
  const { payments } = usePaymentsContext();

  console.log(payments);
  return <PaymentPlans />;
}

Use the selected payment plan to change account plan.

import { usePaymentsContext } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/providers/payments";
import { StripeProvider } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/providers/stripe";
import { CheckoutForm } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/components/stripe/checkout";

export default function PaymentsView() {
  const { payments } = usePaymentsContext();

  console.log(payments);
  return (
    <StripeProvider>
      <CheckoutForm />
    </StripeProvider>
  );
}

Full example managing account subscriptions and auth.

import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import {
  A11yWatchProvider,
  SignOnForm,
  useA11yWatchContext,
} from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";
import { StripeProvider } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/providers/stripe";
import { CheckoutForm } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/components/stripe/checkout";
import { PaymentPlans } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/components/payment-plans";
import { PaymentsProvider } from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/providers/payments";

// build a payment view based on the components.
const PaymentsView = () => {
  const { account } = useA11yWatchContext();

  useEffect(() => {
    // do something with account on change
    console.log(account);
  }, [account]);

  return (
    <div className="space-y-2">
      <div className="text-xl">Welcome {account.email}</div>
      <PaymentsPlans />
      <StripeProvider>
        <CheckoutForm />
      </StripeProvider>
    </div>
  );
};

const MainApp = () => {
  const { account } = useA11yWatchContext();

  return account.authed ? (
    <PaymentsProvider>
      <PaymentsView />
    </PaymentsProvider>
  ) : (
    <SignOnForm />
  );
};

// wrap in auth provider
export function App() {
  return (
    <A11yWatchProvider persist>
      <MainApp />
    </A11yWatchProvider>
  );
}

Perform a live audit scan on a url, make sure to be authenticated first.

import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import {
  A11yWatchProvider,
  AuditProvider,
  AuditForm,
  AuditList,
  useAuditContext,
} from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";

function MyAudit() {
  const { report, loading } = useAuditContext();

  console.log(report, loading);

  return (
    <>
      <AuditForm />
      <AuditList />
    </>
  );
}

export function Auditer() {
  return (
    <A11yWatchProvider persist>
      <AuditProvider persist>
        <MyAudit />
      </AuditProvider>
    </A11yWatchProvider>
  );
}

Multiple audits example with persisting to disk:

import React from "react";
import {
  A11yWatchProvider,
  AuditProvider,
  AuditForm,
  AuditList,
} from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";

export function Auditer() {
  return (
    <A11yWatchProvider persist>
      <div className="space-y-4">
        <AuditProvider persist={"website-1"}>
          <AuditForm />
          <div className="max-h-96 overflow-y-auto">
            <AuditList />
          </div>
        </AuditProvider>
        <AuditProvider persist={"website-2"}>
          <AuditForm />
          <div className="max-h-96 overflow-y-auto">
            <AuditList />
          </div>
        </AuditProvider>
      </div>
    </A11yWatchProvider>
  );
}

Multi page audits with the multi prop:

import React from "react";
import {
  A11yWatchProvider,
  AuditProvider,
  AuditForm,
  AuditList,
} from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";

export function Auditer() {
  return (
    <A11yWatchProvider persist>
      <AuditProvider persist multi>
        <AuditForm />
        <AuditList />
      </AuditProvider>
    </A11yWatchProvider>
  );
}

Use pre-compilled tailwind styles:

import "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js/css/tailwind.css";

Hooks

You can also use the hooks without the UI to perform all events and actions.

import React from "react";
import {
  A11yWatchProvider,
  AuditProvider,
  AuditForm,
  AuditList,
  streamAudit,
  useA11yWatchContext,
  useEffect,
  Report
} from "@a11ywatch/react-a11ywatch-js";

const AutoAudit = () => {
  const { account } = useA11yWatchContext();
  const { dispatchReport } = useAuditContext();

  // auto crawl on mount
  useEffect(() => {
    const cb = (report) => {
      // do something with report prior or after
      dispatchReport(report) // bind state updates manually
    }
    // custom native fetch streaming response
    streamAudit({{ url: "https://a11ywatch.com", cb }, account.jwt}) // second param JWT to use for request
  }, [])

  return null;
}

export function Auditer() {
  return (
    <A11yWatchProvider persist>
      <AuditProvider persist multi>
        <AutoAudit />
        <AuditList />
      </AuditProvider>
    </A11yWatchProvider>
  );
}

Todo.. more examples.

Config

You can add the persist prop to providers for storing to disk and retrieval.

ENV

You can use the NEXT_PUBLIC_A11YWATCH_API env var to set the base url of the API ex: http://localhost:3280.

Storybook

The live example website you may need to use the sign on form first before using the other components. The sign on and register runs on production with real account information.

Once you login or register you can the other components that require authentication.
