2. Basic use

To use a widget in React, wrap your app in the <AccessibilityProvider> component. Then use the useAccessibility() hook to access the widget instance and its status.

import React, { useEffect } from "react"
import { AccessibilityProvider, useAccessibility } from "@dockcodes/accessibility-widget-react"

const Demo = () => {
    const { accessibility, ready } = useAccessibility()

    useEffect(() => {
        if (!ready) return
        accessibility.onMenuOpen(() => console.log('Menu opened!'))
    }, [ready])

    if (!ready) return <p>Widget loading…</p>

    return (
        <div style={{ padding: 20 }}>
            <h1>Demo Accessibility Widget</h1>

            <button onClick={() => accessibility.setContrast(true)}>Enable contrast</button>
            <button onClick={() => accessibility.toggleInvertColors()}>Invert colors</button>
            <button onClick={() => accessibility.setFontSize(4)}>Large font</button>
            <button onClick={() => accessibility.setLanguage("en")}>EN</button>
            <button onClick={() => accessibility.resetAll()}>Reset</button>
        </div>
    )
}

export default function App() {
    return (
        <AccessibilityProvider token="YOUR_TOKEN">
            <Demo />
        </AccessibilityProvider>
    )
}

Hook use Accessibility() returns two key elements:

• accessibility – widget instance (full list of methods in the base package)
• ready – information whether the widget has been loaded correctly
