JavaScript Library

A library of components and modules for building modern, accessible products.

Project Overview

The goal of this project is to help authors build modern, accessible products quickly and easily in a no-dependency environment. It's designed with the goal of separating functionalities into discrete, reusable packages. And it is structured into three types of modules/functions that help with these different needs:

• Specific Module: Specific modules represent individual components or features. These are the most complete packages in the library and commonly include other modules/functions from this library to work properly.

• Common Modules: Common modules provide discete functionalities as a package — for example, navigating a composite element (like a tab component). They do not work on their own, but help to provide specific needs for a given component/feature.

• Utility Functions: Utility functions handle highly specific situations, and are too small/universal to be included in a module.

Notes

• Authors should consult readme.md files to learn how to use modules successfully.
• Within readme files data- attributes will commonly be shown as data-{identifier} to help explain context. Authors should replace {identifier} with the attribute they want to use in production.
• Most components will rely on DOM state as the source of truth to build the internal state that a module works with.
