Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Van11y Accessible Carrousel using ARIA

This script will transform a simple list of Hx/contents into shiny and accessible carrousel using ARIA.

The demo is here: https://van11y.net/downloads/carrousel/demo/index.html

Website is here: https://van11y.net/accessible-carrousel/

La page existe aussi en français : https://van11y.net/fr/carrousel-accessible/

How it works

Here is the starting code needed. Add the script, needed CSS, style it as you want, and it is ok.

<div class="js-carrousel relative">
  <div class="js-carrousel__container mod--hidden"
   data-carrousel-btn-previous-img="./left.svg"
   data-carrousel-btn-next-img="./right.svg"
   data-carrousel-btn-previous-text="Show previous content"
   data-carrousel-btn-next-text="Show next content"
   data-carrousel-prefix-class="news"
   data-carrousel-span-text-class="invisible"
   data-carrousel-transition="slide"
   data-carrousel-existing-hx="h3">

    <div class="js-carrousel__content">
      <h3>A first panel</h3>
      <p>Here the content.</p>
    </div><!--
 --><div class="js-carrousel__content">
      <h3>A second panel</h3>
      <p>Here the content.</p>
    </div><!--
 --><div class="js-carrousel__content">
      <h3>A third panel</h3>
      <p>Here the content.</p>
    </div>

  </div>
</div>

The plugin will do all the job on the fly:

  • Generate all needed ids, ARIA attributes and link everything that needs to;
  • Create buttons next and prev;
  • Generate the control list;
  • Add classes (namespaced if you have specified), in order to let you styling it as you want;
  • Add all listeners, etc.

The script is launched when the page is loaded. If you need to execute it on AJAX-inserted content, you may use for example on <div id="newContent">your carrousel source</div>:

van11yAccessibleCarrouselAria(document.getElementById('newContent')[, addListeners]);

addListeners is a facultative boolean (by default set to true) to add carrousel listeners (should be set up only the first time in most of the cases).

How to use it

You may use npm command: npm i van11y-accessible-carrousel-aria. You may also use bower: bower install van11y-accessible-carrousel-aria.

Then, follow the conventions given above. You may also copy/paste styles for carrousel design and styles for transitions.

Important note: for accessibility purposes (for VoiceOver), the plugin has to give focus to hx (h2, h3, h4, etc.) in tab contents. It is better having hx in each content tab.

  • If you have some, it is great, you just have to tell the plugin. In the example above, you tell it via data-carrousel-existing-hx. And all these subtitles will be used in the ol list.
  • If you don’t have, nevermind, please tell the plugin which level of hx to use with data-carrousel-hx="hx", and it will insert an hx class="invisible" for you in each tab panel (you can “visually” hide them if needed with invisible class). To specify the titles, use the attribute data-carrousel-span-text="Panel" and the plugin will create titles for each tab content: “Panel 1”, “Panel 2”, etc. And all these subtitles will be used in the ol list.

List of all data-attributes

  • data-carrousel-btn-previous-img: the address of the image used for “previous” button.
  • data-carrousel-btn-previous-text: the text of the “previous” button, will be put in the alt attribute if there is an image, and in the title attribute for the button.
  • data-carrousel-btn-next-img: the address of the image used for “next” button.
  • data-carrousel-btn-next-text: the text of the “next” button, will be put in the alt attribute if there is an image, and in the title attribute for the button.
  • data-carrousel-prefix-class: all the classes added for styling purpose will be prefixed, to simplify creating carrousel reusable styles.
  • data-carrousel-span-text-class: in the ol list, the text will be wrapped into a span with this class. Example, data-carrousel-span-text-class="yipikai" will provide <a … role="tab"><span class="yipikai">A robust base</span></a>
  • data-carrousel-transition: the value of this attribute will be added as a class on the carrousel container tag div class="js-carrousel__container". And CSS will do the magic to animate it. See three examples of transitions in the demo (“slide”, “fade” and “none”).
  • data-carrousel-active-slide: put here the number of the slide you want to display by default for your carrousel.
  • data-carousel-hide-arrows-focus: will make next/prev buttons not focusable for keyboard users and not visible for speech synthesis.

How to create different styles?

In this example page, I’ve used data-carrousel-prefix-class="news", so all the generated classes will start with .news-carrousel.

/* ------------------ example styles ------------------ */
.relative { position: relative; }
.mod--hidden { overflow: hidden; }

.invisible {
  border: 0;
  clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
  height: 1px;
  margin: -1px;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 0;
  position: absolute;
  width: 1px;
}

.news-carrousel__container {
  white-space: nowrap;
}
.news-carrousel__control__list {
  position: absolute;
  list-style-type: none;
  top: 100%;
  right: 0;
  left: 0;
  margin-top: -0.5em;
  padding-left: 0;
  text-align: center;
}
.news-carrousel__control__list__item {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 0 .5em;
}
.news-carrousel__control__list__link {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 1em;
  height: 1em;
  background: #fff;
  border: 1px solid #148297;
  border-radius: 1em;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.news-carrousel__button-container {
  position: absolute;
}
.news-carrousel__button__previous {
  top: 50%;
  margin-top: -18px;
  left: 0;
  margin-left: -35px;
}
.news-carrousel__button__next {
  top: 50%;
  margin-top: -18px;
  right: 0;
  margin-right: -35px;
}
.news-carrousel__button__button {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  background: transparent;
  border: 0;
  cursor: pointer;
}

/* only for minimalist example */
.carrousel__content[aria-hidden=true] {
  display: none;
}
/* ------------------ State rules ------------------ */
.news-carrousel__control__list__link:focus,
.news-carrousel__control__list__link:hover,
.news-carrousel__control__list__link:active,
.news-carrousel__control__list__link[aria-selected=true] {
  background: #148297;
}
.news-carrousel__control__list__link:focus,
.news-carrousel__control__list__link:hover,
.news-carrousel__control__list__link:active {
  outline: 2px dotted #4d287f;
}

How to style transitions (nicely)

Here are 3 examples of transitions:

/* ------------------ transition slide ------------------ */
.slide .carrousel__content {
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: top;
  visibility: visible;
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
  transition: visibility 0s ease, transform .5s ease-in;
  transition-delay: 0;
  white-space: normal;
}

[data-carrousel-active-slide="1"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(0);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="2"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-100%);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="3"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-200%);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="4"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-300%);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="5"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-400%);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="6"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-500%);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="7"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-600%);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="8"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-700%);
}
[data-carrousel-active-slide="9"].slide > .carrousel__content {
  transform: translateX(-800%);
}

[data-carrousel-active-slide].slide > [aria-hidden="true"].carrousel__content {
  visibility: hidden;
  transition-delay: .5s, 0s;
}


/* ------------------ transition fade ------------------ */
.fade .carrousel__content {
  -webkit-animation: fadein 1s;
  animation:         fadein 1s;
  white-space: normal;
}
.fade .carrousel__content[aria-hidden=true] {
  -webkit-animation: fadeout 1s;
  animation:         fadeout 1s;
}
.fade .carrousel__content[aria-hidden=true] {
  display: none;
}

@keyframes fadeout {
  0%   { opacity: 1; }
  100% { opacity: 0; }
}
@keyframes fadein {
  0%   { opacity: 0; }
  100% { opacity: 1; }
}



/* ------------------ transition none ------------------ */
.none .carrousel__content {
  white-space: normal;
}
.none .carrousel__content[aria-hidden=true] {
  display: none;
}

Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard navigation is supported too, here are the shortcuts:

If you focus on the carrousel “buttons” (not next and previous buttons, the control list):

  • use Up/Left to see previous carrousel tab
  • use Down/Right to see next carrousel tab
  • use Home to see first carrousel tab (wherever you are in carrousel tab buttons)
  • use End to see last carrousel tab (wherever you are in carrousel tab buttons)

If you focus in a carrousel content:

  • use Ctrl Up to set focus on the carrousel button for the currently displayed carrousel content.

Bonuses

Panel opened by default

You may specify on js-carrousel__container the attribute data-carrousel-active-slide="The number of the panel". Example: data-carrousel-active-slide="2" will display the second panel by default. In the carrousel demo, the third example shows it.
