Overview

An Accessibility::Checker is initialized by passing it the URL of the web page to check.

It is in charge of making the request to the access-lint-server, which will perform the accessibility audit using the AccessLint gem and return the results as JSON.

It delegates the results parsing to an Accessibility::Audit, which in turn will consult the raw JSON from this checker to generate the collections of audit rules.

Example:

a11y = Accessibility::Checker.new('http://validationhell.com')

You can (and should) specify the URL where your access-lint-server instance is to be found, as the default value is not a production-ready server, which might be under heavy load:

a11y = Accessibility::Checker.new( 'http://validationhell.com',
                                   checker_uri: 'http://mychecker.com' )

For brevity, you can use the convenience shortcut on the top-level module:

a11y = Accessibility.check('http://validationhell.com')
