Motivation

Everyone loves emoji 💯🎉🔥, but if you use eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y to check the accessibility of your JSX you probably know that Emoji need special handling to become accessible. Instead of just writing the emoji, you need to wrap it in a span and add role="img" and aria-label attributes.

This plugin does this automatically for you.

Gatsby is 💯

will turn into

Gatsby is <span role="img" aria-label="hundred points">💯</span>

Requirements

• Node >=10.13.0 (same as Gatsby)

Installation

First you need to install the plugin with NPM or Yarn:

npm install --save gatsby-remark-a11y-emoji

Add the plugin to gatsby-config.js. Since gatsby-remark-a11y-emoji converts Remark text nodes into html nodes, I recommend placing it at the very end of the plugins list.

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-transformer-remark`,
      options: {
        plugins: [
          // ...
          'gatsby-remark-a11y-emoji',
        ],
      },
    },
  ],
};
