Deque.AxeCore.Commons 4.4.0-alpha.40

Deque.AxeCore.Commons

Provides a .NET wrapper around axe-core, including a bundled copy of axe-core and .NET typings for its options and results.

Getting Started

Install a .NET SDK if you haven't already.

Install Deque.AxeCore.Commons and its dependencies:

dotnet add package Deque.AxeCore.Commons

Usage

This package exists primarily to help .NET tool developers integrate axe-core with different tools and test frameworks. If you are just trying to write test cases using axe-core, you probably want to use one of these instead:

• Deque.AxeCore.Playwright in combination with Playwright for .NET
• Deque.AxeCore.Selenium in combination with Selenium's C# Selenium.WebDriver package

AxeResult

AxeResult represents the axe-core Results Object.

AxeRunContext

AxeRunContext represents the axe-core Context Parameter.

AxeRunOptions

AxeRunOptions represents the axe-core Options Parameter.

Axe script providers

The IAxeScriptProvider interface is suitable for use as an option in an API for running an axe-core scan of a page. It specifies a single method, GetScript(), which returns a string containing JavaScript code suitable for injecting into a running page.

This library provides two IAxeScriptProvider implementations:

1. BundledAxeScriptProvider

BundledAxeScriptProvider provides a bundled copy of axe-core which is included with the library. The included version will match the major and minor version of the library, but may not match the patch version.

This script provider is suitable as a default option for users that don't wish to explicitly override the version of axe-core to use.

IAxeScriptProvider axeScriptProvider = new BundledAxeScriptProvider();
axeScriptProvider.GetScript(); // a string containing the contents of the bundled copy of axe.min.js

2. FileAxeScriptProvider

FileAxeScriptProvider is an alternate option for users that wish to provide their own separate implementation of axe-core, usually for the purposes of pinning to a specific axe-core version independently of this library's version.

new FileAxeScriptProvider("./path/to/axe.min.js");
axeScriptProvider.GetScript(); // synchronously reads the contents of file ./path/to/axe.min.js
