Disabling focus outline without breaking accessibility. This library will only disable the focus outline when the user is using his mouse to navigate your web page. Once a users starts using his keyboard the outline is activated again resulting in the best of both worlds, visually and accessibility wise.
This library supports both AMD and CommonJS module loading and it falls back
to a global smartOutline object.
// use RequireJS
var smartOutline = require('smartOutline');
// ES6
import smartOutline from 'smartOutline';
// Load via script tag
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/ambassify/smart-outline/master/main.js"></script>
smartOutline.init();
smartOutline.init({ domId: 'my-custom-id' });
Execute following command:
npm run serve
and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:7000.
npm test
