Hey,

Thank you for the library!

It would be really cool to have option to exclude button and all the elements when initing Accessibility, so we could create our own UI and just call functions. I know we can call functions but it is a bit "annoying" how default UI can not simply be ommited.

Glad you like it @frasza.

Could you explain the use case? Let's say you are creating a new instance of Accessibility and override the accessibility icon's CSS to be display: none, would that do the trick?

We can add an option for not injecting the elements to the DOM and make sure the API doesn't assume access to those elements but I really want to understand the purpose. Do you want to change the look or behavior or just use the API for something else other than accessibility menu?

Hey @ranbuch,

Idea is all about creating the instance of Accessibility but without any icons/menu/css injection. Pure functionaliy.

It is true that we could simply add display: none to the icon, but its more of a 'hack' than a solution. And there are other things along icon as well.

That is why I see 'headless' more as great option, as it would only expose functions that could be called on custom UI elements.

This is exactly the same thing I am looking for. The options you have added to customise the icons and css etc are much more complex than simply having a headless version that we can customise and style as we want.

@brianteeman @frasza version 5.1.0 now supports suppressDomInjection option:

new Accessibility({ suppressDomInjection: true });

Keep me posted.
