Smart Outline

CircleCI

Disabling focus outline without breaking accessibility. This library will only disable the focus outline when the user is using his mouse to navigate your web page. Once a users starts using his keyboard the outline is activated again resulting in the best of both worlds, visually and accessibility wise.

Demo

Usage

This library supports both AMD and CommonJS module loading and it falls back to a global smartOutline object.

// use RequireJS
var smartOutline = require('smartOutline');

// ES6
import smartOutline from 'smartOutline';

// Load via script tag
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/ambassify/smart-outline/master/main.js"></script>

smartOutline.init();

Initialize with custom configuration

smartOutline.init({ domId: 'my-custom-id' });
