# Accessibility Guide - WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliance

## Overview

KoproGo is committed to providing an accessible platform that meets **WCAG 2.1 Level AA** standards. This document outlines our accessibility features, best practices, and testing guidelines.

## ✅ Implemented Features

### 1. Keyboard Navigation

- **Skip Links**: Press Tab on any page to reveal "Skip to main content" link
- **Keyboard-only Navigation**: All interactive elements accessible via Tab, Enter, Space, Arrow keys
- **Focus Indicators**: Visible focus rings on all interactive elements (2px outline, green color)
- **Focus Management**: Proper focus trapping in modals and dialogs

### 2. Screen Reader Support

- **ARIA Landmarks**: Proper `role` attributes (`banner`, `main`, `contentinfo`, `navigation`)
- **ARIA Labels**: All buttons and interactive elements have descriptive labels
- **Live Regions**: Screen reader announcements for dynamic content updates
- **Semantic HTML**: Proper use of headings, lists, buttons, and form elements

### 3. Color Contrast

All text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios:
- **Normal Text**: 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio
- **Large Text** (18pt+ or 14pt+ bold): 3.1 minimum contrast ratio
- **Interactive Elements**: 3:1 contrast ratio for focus indicators

### 4. Visual Design

- **Focus Visible**: Clear focus indicators (`:focus-visible` pseudo-class)
- **No Color-Only Information**: Information never conveyed by color alone
- **Resizable Text**: Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality
- **Responsive Design**: Works on all screen sizes and orientations

## 🛠️ Accessibility Components

### AccessibleButton

Fully accessible button component with ARIA support:

```svelte
<AccessibleButton
  variant="primary"
  ariaLabel="Save changes to expense"
  disabled={false}
  loading={isLoading}
  on:click={handleSave}
>
  Save
</AccessibleButton>
```

**Props:**
- `variant`: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'danger' | 'success'
- `ariaLabel`: Descriptive label for screen readers
- `ariaPressed`: Boolean state for toggle buttons
- `ariaExpanded`: Boolean state for expandable buttons
- `disabled`: Disabled state
- `loading`: Shows loading spinner with announcement

### AccessibleModal

Modal dialog with focus trap and keyboard navigation:

```svelte
<AccessibleModal
  isOpen={showModal}
  title="Edit Expense"
  description="Update expense details"
  onClose={handleClose}
  size="md"
>
  <form>...</form>

  <svelte:fragment slot="footer">
    <AccessibleButton on:click={handleSave}>Save</AccessibleButton>
    <AccessibleButton variant="secondary" on:click={handleClose}>Cancel</AccessibleButton>
  </svelte:fragment>
</AccessibleModal>
```

**Features:**
- Automatic focus trap
- Escape key to close
- Click outside to close
- Screen reader announcements
- Saves and restores previous focus

## 📚 Accessibility Utilities

### Focus Management

```typescript
import { trapFocus, FocusManager } from '../lib/accessibility';

// Trap focus within a container
const cleanup = trapFocus(containerElement);

// Save and restore focus
const manager = new FocusManager();
manager.save();
// ... do something ...
manager.restore();
```

### Screen Reader Announcements

```typescript
import { announce } from '../lib/accessibility';

// Polite announcement (doesn't interrupt)
announce('Changes saved successfully', 'polite');

// Assertive announcement (interrupts current reading)
announce('Error: Form validation failed', 'assertive');
```

### Color Contrast Checking

```typescript
import { meetsContrastRatio } from '../lib/accessibility';

const isAccessible = meetsContrastRatio('#10b981', '#ffffff', false);
// Returns true if contrast ratio meets WCAG AA standards
```

### Keyboard List Navigation

```typescript
import { handleListKeyboard } from '../lib/accessibility';

function onKeyDown(event: KeyboardEvent) {
  const newIndex = handleListKeyboard(
    event,
    items,
    currentIndex,
    (index) => selectItem(items[index])
  );
  currentIndex = newIndex;
}
```

## 🚀 Best Practices for Developers

### 1. Use Semantic HTML

```html
<!-- ✅ Good -->
<nav><ul><li><a href="...">Home</a></li></ul></nav>
<main><h1>Page Title</h1><p>Content...</p></main>
<footer>...</footer>

<!-- ❌ Bad -->
<div class="nav">...</div>
<div class="content">...</div>
<div class="footer">...</div>
```

### 2. Add ARIA Labels

```svelte
<!-- ✅ Good -->
<button aria-label="Close dialog">
  <svg aria-hidden="true">...</svg>
</button>

<!-- ❌ Bad -->
<button><svg>...</svg></button>
```

### 3. Manage Focus

```typescript
// ✅ Good - Focus management in modals
onMount(() => {
  if (isOpen) {
    cleanupFocusTrap = trapFocus(modalEl);
  }
});

onDestroy(() => {
  if (cleanupFocusTrap) {
    cleanupFocusTrap();
  }
});
```

### 4. Announce Dynamic Changes

```typescript
// ✅ Good - Announce form submission
async function handleSubmit() {
  try {
    await saveData();
    announce('Changes saved successfully', 'polite');
  } catch (error) {
    announce('Error: Failed to save changes', 'assertive');
  }
}
```

### 5. Keyboard Event Handling

```svelte
<!-- ✅ Good - Support both mouse and keyboard -->
<div
  role="button"
  tabindex="0"
  on:click={handleClick}
  on:keydown={(e) => {
    if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') {
      e.preventDefault();
      handleClick();
    }
  }}
>
  Click me
</div>
```
