You can read more about the accessibility implementation from the <\/span>mdn web docs<\/span><\/a>. But by Installing this Axe Accessibility Linter plugin on the Visual Studio Code, the application will start itself after some time and will show the error messages on the HTML code if there are any, and can implement the accessibility by this tool’s suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, for this simple code, it shows me the error on this <img> tag in the index.html file, as there is nothing on the image that describes it. So after hovering over the <img> tag, it will show the axe-linter error message where you can click the link highlighted in blue as shown in the above image, and it will show you the solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. #Fix – Add <\/span>alt<\/b> attribute.
    \n<\/span><img src=”${download.iconPath}” alt=”Download image” class=”cta-download__icon-img”><\/li>\n
  2. #Fix – Using aria-label<\/b> attribute.
    \n<img src=”${download.iconPath}” aria-label=”download image” class=”cta-download__icon-img”><\/li>\n
  3. #Fix – Using aria-labelledby<\/b> attribute.
    \n<img src=”${download.iconPath}” aria-labelledby=”download image” class=”cta-download__icon-img”><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    After following any of these above solutions, the axe-linter accessibility plugin will not show the error.<\/span><\/p>\n
