To enhance the accessibility of our design system and ensure compliance with WCAG AA contrast standards, we propose integrating accessibility testing using the a11y Storybook plugin into our design tokens repository's Storybook. This initiative involves creating a dedicated page within Storybook that combines various text and background colors from our design tokens to test and validate WCAG AA contrast ratios. By proactively addressing accessibility in our design system, we aim to promote inclusivity and ensure our components meet accessibility standards before implementation.
Technical Details
Objective: Implement accessibility testing within the design tokens repository's Storybook using the a11y Storybook plugin.
Implementation Steps:
Install and configure the @storybook/addon-a11y plugin in the Storybook setup.
Develop a dedicated page in Storybook that dynamically combines text and background colors from the design tokens to test contrast ratios.
Utilize the a11y plugin's features to automatically test and report any WCAG AA contrast issues.
Document the process and findings, ensuring any identified issues are addressed or noted for future improvement.
Expected Outcome: A fully integrated accessibility testing setup within Storybook that helps identify and resolve contrast ratio issues, ensuring our design tokens support WCAG AA compliance.
Acceptance Criteria
The @storybook/addon-a11y plugin is successfully integrated into the design tokens repository's Storybook.
A dedicated accessibility testing page is created, showcasing combinations of text and background colors for contrast testing.
Automated tests using the a11y plugin effectively identify contrast issues, aligning with WCAG AA standards.
Documentation is provided on how to use the accessibility testing setup and interpret the results.
