 # Automated Accessibility Testing Tool (AATT)
 
 Browser-based accessibility testing tools and plugins require manually testing each page, one at a time. Tools that can crawl a website can only scan pages that do not require login credentials, and that are not behind a firewall. Instead of developing, testing, and using a separate accessibility test suite, you can now integrate accessibility testing into your existing automation test suite using AATT.

 AATT provides an API for evaluating HTML Source code from other servers. The API EndPoint is: https://your_nodejs_server/evaluate
 
 * Accepts the following parameters:
-  1. "source" to send the HTML source of the page. Can be a whole page or partial page source 
-  2. "engine" E.g. engine=htmlcs. This is the engine which will scan the code. It accepts a single value of "axe", chrome" or "htmlcs".

   3. "ouput" to get the jsonified string. E.g. output=json.  If this parameter is not set or left empty, it will return a string with table data that can be parsed or appended directly into your page.
   Default to "htmlcs"
   4. "errLevel" Error level like Error, Warning or Notices .  Mapped to 1, 2 and 3 respectively. E.g. "1,2,3"
   5. "level" This option applies only for the default htmlcs evaluation engine. Options can be either of the following WCAG2AA, WCAG2A, WCAG2AAA, Section508  . Defaults to "WCAG2A"

 ## How to Use with nightwatchJS
-[Nightwatch JS](http://nightwatchjs.org ) is another UI automated testing framework powered by Node.js and uses the Selenium WebDriver API. To call AATT, you need to use the [request module](https://github.com/request/request). NightwatchJs has call back functions like before and after hooks that would be called before or after executing a test case. Request to AATT API should be done in after hook passing the source code of the page to the API.  Here is an [example commit](https://github.com/mpnkhan/nightwatch/commit/a377e860e0bfbd21d9e365e86fb3e6c4ec0e63f0)  on how to do this with Nightwatch.

 Optionally, you can configure the tool to save a screensnap of the html page you test. You can also configure the tool to display only errors, or also to include warnings and notices. Warning and notices require manual inspection to determine the severity of the warning or notice.
 
+## How to use as a node module
+
+The AATT evaluate function can be used directly as a node module, without the
+need for using a web API.
+
+### Installation
+
+Add the module to your project
+
+```sh
+npm install --save aatt
+```
+
+### Usage Example
+
+This takes the same options as the web `/evaluate` HTTP endpoint.
+
+```javascript
+const { evaluate } = require('aatt');
+
+evaluate({
+    source: "<html xml:lang='en-gb'><head><title>Foo</title></head><body><p>Bar</p></body></html>",
+    output: "json",
+    engine: "htmlcs",
+    level: "WCAG2A"
+}).then(result => {
+    console.log('Results', JSON.parse(result));
+});
+```
