# Alfred WCAG Workflow
This [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) Workflow allows you to search through Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Success Criterion (SC), and then copy a link to the selected SC to your clipboard or open its Understanding page in your default browser.
The Workflow uses [WCAG 2.2](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/), which is the current W3C Recommendation at the time of this Workflow's last published update.
## How to install this Workflow
Requires Alfred and the [Alfred Powerpack](https://www.alfredapp.com/powerpack/).
1. [Download the latest release](https://github.com/ericwbailey/alfred-wcag-workflow/releases/) from this repo.
2. Open the `wcag.alfredworkflow` file wherever your browser saves downloaded files.
3. Activate the "Install" button on the import prompt displayed after opening the `.workflow` file.
## How to use this Workflow
1. Type `wcag`, the Workflow filter keyword, and then Space.
2. Begin typing either the SC's number (ex: `2.5.3`) or its title (ex: `label in name`). The Workflow's results will update as you refine your query.
3. Take action on a result by highlighting it in the Alfred command palette results and using one of the following interactions:
* Enter/click: Copy the SC's number, name, and link to its Understanding page as a HTML link.
* Option + Enter: Copy the SC's Understanding page URL to the clipboard.
* Command + Enter: Open the SC's Understanding page URL in the default browser.

### Features I would like help with
- [x] ~Figuring out why the SC's title (ex: `Label in Name`) is not part of the fuzzy match if a number is not included.~
- [x] ~Opening the base WCAG 2.1 URL when no filter keyword is entered and Enter is pressed.~
- [x] ~Logic for showing a custom icon for each of the four POUR categories (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust).~
## FAQ
### Why isn't this Workflow listed in the official Alfred Workflow Gallery or Packal?
I mainly use this Workflow for my job, and do not have the resources to provide full-blown community support. Hopefully the Workflow in its current form is helpful to you if you find yourself needing something like this.
### Can you make a Raycast extension?
Migrating from Quicksilver to Alfred was enough work on its own. I'm not really interested in uprooting things again for another quick launcher.
### Will you update this when WCAG updates?
I am hoping to be either retired or dead by the time WCAG 3.0 is published, but will otherwise support WCAG updates.
## Thank you
Thank you to [Wayne Elgin](https://github.com/esjay) for his help with how JavaScript and Alfred Workflow syntax intersect.
