dom-accessibility-api

Computes the accessible name or description of a given DOM Element. https://w3c.github.io/accname/ implemented in JavaScript for testing.

$ yarn add dom-accessibility-api

import {
	computeAccessibleName,
	computeAccessibleDescription,
} from "dom-accessibility-api";

I'm not an editor of any of the referenced specs (nor very experience with using them) so if you got any insights, something catches your eye please open an issue.
