Description

image

Running the MapStore dashboard through Lighthouse currently yields a bad accessibility score of 62, and the
map view does not score much better (66). As a german company using MapStore, we are required by law to
put some effort into the accessibility of public facing websites.

Some changes that we did to improve the score are relatively painless and trivial, others, especially relating
to the labelling of buttons, introduce some small overhead. So, I will provide two PRs with our changes:

  • One with the tiny changes that should not be an issue with the rest of the code (like setting document language, alt tag for logo), but already improve the score considerably
  • One with the more complicated changes (mainly button labels with i18n).

I hope the first one should not be a problem for you to merge, but the second one I am interested in your feedback, but it is not a high priority enhancement.

A small accessibility issue in the navbar is currently caused by a react-bootstrap-Component, once you move on to the next major version, it should be fixed.

What kind of improvement you want to add? (check one with "x", remove the others)

  • Minor changes to existing features

geosolutions-it#10158: re-enable browser zoom
ca86ac3 
Too much Zoom does seem to break the layout, but handing that responsibility to the end user is more accessible than
disabling it. Map zoom is unaffected, and since using browser zoom enlarges map controls, users who tried zooming
into the map using browser zoom should be able to notice the actual controls and recover from their mistake.

Modify tooltip enhancer to also provide `aria-label`-property to wrapped objects
(most commonly glyph-only buttons). Does localization on a best-effort basis, trying
to unwrap messages passed in as tooltip prop.
