A React library that warns developers about accessibility issues in their React elements at runtime by patching React's rendering functions. It is now deprecated in favor of @axe-core/react.

Use cases

  • find accessibility issues in react components
  • warn about missing alt attributes on images
  • check aria roles in react app
  • audit react app for a11y during development
  • catch keyboard accessibility problems in react

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy codebase that already uses react-a11y
  • you need the specific legacy rule set it provides

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use @axe-core/react instead
  • production environments since it patches React rendering and slows it down
  • you want actively maintained accessibility tooling
