A Node.js CLI tool and library that runs accessibility audits against URLs, local files, or glob patterns using Chrome Accessibility Developer Tools, producing PASS/FAIL reports. It can also be used programmatically as an npm module to generate accessibility reports.
Use cases
- audit a website for accessibility issues
- check if my web pages pass WCAG accessibility rules
- run accessibility audits on local HTML files
- integrate accessibility checks into a build or test pipeline
- generate an accessibility report for a URL from the command line
When to choose
- you need a quick command-line accessibility audit of a URL or local HTML files
- you want a simple Node.js API to programmatically run accessibility audits
- you're maintaining a legacy Node.js toolchain already using this package
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling - the project is beta and hasn't released since 2018 and relies on deprecated PhantomJS
- you need modern audits based on axe-core or Lighthouse
- you need CI-grade accessibility testing with extensive configuration options
