Overview
We built accessible React templates, written in TypeScript and covered by automated tests, that teams across several public services used as the starting point for their own apps.
Challenges
- Keeping keyboard and screen reader responses instant in complex React apps.
- Keeping build sizes small.
- Rewriting old jQuery code as modern components.
Results and impact
A shared component library used by several government projects.
Front-end work on a large migration of citizen accounts.
Clean, tested code that other teams could pick up easily.
