# AcceCSS | ||
## A Sass Mixin that debugs & checks the accessibility of your designs | ||
|
||
[![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/LukyVj/accecss](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/LukyVj/accecss?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) | ||
|
||
This mixin will allow you to get an overview of all the zones of your layout, get a grayscaled version to check the contrast, as well as 8 different filters to emulate the most common coloblindness types | ||
|
||
|
||
## Simple API | ||
What we can call "The API" is the few parameters you will be able to change or combine to use the AcceCSS mixin, it's composed of 4 paramters so far | ||
|
||
```sass | ||
@include accecss( false, false , false , false ); | ||
^ ^ ^ ^ | ||
selector | css zones | grayscale | colorblind filter | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## API PARAMETERS | ||
| PARAMETER | POSSIBLE VALUE | | ||
|--------------|:------------:| | ||
| selector | You must use quotes ('), ex: '.selector' | | ||
| CSS Zones | Can be true or false | | ||
| Grayscale | Can be true or false | | ||
| Colorblind filter | Any of the filters on the list below, ex: deuteranopia| | ||
|
||
## Browser compatibility | ||
The AcceCSS mixin will work in any major evergreen brother : | ||
- Google Chrome | ||
- Safari | ||
- Mozilla Firefox | ||
- IE (partial) | ||
|
||
*For more informations, see [Caniuse : SVG filters](http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg-filters)* | ||
|
||
## How to use it | ||
|
||
### 1 - Download | ||
First, go on Github, and download the [accecss.scss](https://github.com/LukyVj/accecss/blob/gh-pages/css/accecss.scss) file along with the [filter.svg](https://github.com/LukyVj/accecss/blob/gh-pages/css/filters.svg) | ||
|
||
### 2 - @import | ||
Now, you have to import the mixin into your main stylesheet. | ||
|
||
To keep things clear, I recommand using a main.scss file, and import both your styles and accecss mixin into it | ||
```sass | ||
@import 'style.scss'; | ||
@import 'accecss.scss'; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### 3 - Use it | ||
Once 1 & 2 are done, you're ready to use the mixin, here is how looks an inactive Accecss mixin, note that by default, all the settings are set to false | ||
```sass | ||
@include accecss( | ||
false, // ELEMENT | False | ||
false, // CSS ZONE | False | ||
false, // GRAYSCALE | False | ||
false // COLORBLIND | False | ||
); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Let's say you want to debug your whole document, and, for example, let's say you want to get your elements outlined | ||
```sass | ||
@include accecss( | ||
'html body', | ||
true, | ||
false, | ||
false | ||
); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To add a grayscaled effect : | ||
```sass | ||
@include accecss( | ||
'html body', | ||
false, | ||
true, | ||
false | ||
); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And finally, add a blindness color filter : | ||
```sass | ||
@include accecss( | ||
'html body', | ||
false, | ||
false, | ||
protanopia // You can use all filters listed over | ||
); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
__You will have to give the proper path to your filter.svg, for this, use the `$path-to-filter` variable, in the accecss.scss file.__ | ||

## Informations about Colorblindness | ||
|
||
This project was born essentially because of this article : | ||
|
||
[Designing For (and With) Color Blindness](https://medium.com/@aaron10buuren/designing-for-and-with-color-blindness-48392aab3d87) | ||
|
||
After some researches I discovered this information : | ||
|
||
_Colour (color) blindness (colour vision deficiency, or CVD) affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women in the world. In Britain this means that there are approximately 2.7 million colour blind people (about 4.5% of the entire population), most of whom are male._ | ||
