The map is already in the tabbing order, so can be moved to by tabbing and by programs like screen readers or speech recognition, but it doesn't have an accessible name so when assistive tech' that requires this for identification gets the contents read out instead, which is confusing. This adds an accessible name, via aria-label, made out of the areas the alert targets. This also adds some help text, explaining how to use the map via aria-describedby. This is a pretty common pattern and is used in native UI like selectboxes where a range of commands are available to control the UI 'widget'. Using aria-describedby means the help text is not used every time the widget is focused but is available if the user gets stuck. For example, Voiceover announces it if the widget is focused but not interacted with for a period of time, or when a shortcut key is pressed. Finally, I also added a role of 'region' because when I tested with the NVDA screen reader, the accessible name wasn't announced but this fixed that. I think it's because the div isn't being recognised as having a role without it being set explicitly and is therefore ignored.

Setting up
Python version
At the moment we run Python 3.6 in production.
NPM packages
brew install node
NPM is Node's package management tool. n is a tool for managing different versions of Node. The following installs n and uses the long term support (LTS) version of Node.
npm install -g n
n lts
environment.sh
In the root directory of the application, run:
echo "
export NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export FLASK_APP=application.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
export WERKZEUG_DEBUG_PIN=off
"> environment.sh
AWS credentials
To run parts of the app, such as uploading letters, you will need appropriate AWS credentials. See the Wiki for more details.
To run the application
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run the web app
make run-flask
Then visit localhost:6012.
Any Python code changes you make should be picked up automatically in development. If you're developing JavaScript code, run npm run watch to achieve the same.
To test the application
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run all the tests
make test
# continuously run js tests
npm run test-watch
To run a specific JavaScript test, you'll need to copy the full command from package.json.
To update application dependencies
requirements.txt is generated from the requirements.in in order to pin versions of all nested dependencies. If requirements.in has been changed, run make freeze-requirements to regenerate it.
