Struct Node

pub struct Node { /* private fields */ }

A single accessible object. A complete UI is represented as a tree of these.

For brevity, and to make more of the documentation usable in bindings to other languages, documentation of getter methods is written as if documenting fields in a struct, and such methods are referred to as properties.

pub fn owns(&self) -> &[NodeId]

As with the aria-owns property in ARIA, this property should be set only if the nodes referenced in the property are not descendants of the owning node in the AccessKit tree. In the common case, where the owned nodes are direct children or indirect descendants, this property is unnecessary.

If a text input has placeholder text, it should be exposed through this property rather than name.

impl Node

impl Node

pub fn character_lengths(&self) -> &[u8]

For inline text. The length (non-inclusive) of each character in UTF-8 code units (bytes). The sum of these lengths must equal the length of value, also in bytes.

A character is defined as the smallest unit of text that can be selected. This isn’t necessarily a single Unicode scalar value (code point). This is why AccessKit can’t compute the lengths of the characters from the text itself; this information must be provided by the text editing implementation.

If this node is the last text box in a line that ends with a hard line break, that line break should be included at the end of this node’s value as either a CRLF or LF; in both cases, the line break should be counted as a single character for the sake of this slice. When the caret is at the end of such a line, the focus of the text selection should be on the line break, not after it.

impl Node

pub fn word_lengths(&self) -> &[u8]

For inline text. The length of each word in characters, as defined in character_lengths. The sum of these lengths must equal the length of character_lengths.

The end of each word is the beginning of the next word; there are no characters that are not considered part of a word. Trailing whitespace is typically considered part of the word that precedes it, while a line’s leading whitespace is considered its own word. Whether punctuation is considered a separate word or part of the preceding word depends on the particular text editing implementation. Some editors may have their own definition of a word; for example, in an IDE, words may correspond to programming language tokens.

Not all assistive technologies require information about word boundaries, and not all platform accessibility APIs even expose this information, but for assistive technologies that do use this information, users will get unpredictable results if the word boundaries exposed by the accessibility tree don’t match the editor’s behavior. This is why AccessKit does not determine word boundaries itself.

impl Node

pub fn character_positions(&self) -> Option<&[f32]>

For inline text. This is the position of each character within the node’s bounding box, in the direction given by text_direction, in the coordinate space of this node.

When present, the length of this slice should be the same as the length of character_lengths, including for lines that end with a hard line break. The position of such a line break should be the position where an end-of-paragraph marker would be rendered.

This property is optional. Without it, AccessKit can’t support some use cases, such as screen magnifiers that track the caret position or screen readers that display a highlight cursor. However, most text functionality still works without this information.

impl Node

pub fn character_widths(&self) -> Option<&[f32]>

For inline text. This is the advance width of each character, in the direction given by text_direction, in the coordinate space of this node.

When present, the length of this slice should be the same as the length of character_lengths, including for lines that end with a hard line break. The width of such a line break should be non-zero if selecting the line break by itself results in a visible highlight (as in Microsoft Word), or zero if not (as in Windows Notepad).

This property is optional. Without it, AccessKit can’t support some use cases, such as screen magnifiers that track the caret position or screen readers that display a highlight cursor. However, most text functionality still works without this information.

impl Node

pub fn is_expanded(&self) -> Option<bool>

Whether this node is expanded, collapsed, or neither.

Setting this to false means the node is collapsed; omitting it means this state isn’t applicable.

impl Node

pub fn is_selected(&self) -> Option<bool>

Indicates whether this node is selected or unselected.

The absence of this flag (as opposed to a false setting) means that the concept of “selected” doesn’t apply. When deciding whether to set the flag to false or omit it, consider whether it would be appropriate for a screen reader to announce “not selected”. The ambiguity of this flag in platform accessibility APIs has made extraneous “not selected” announcements a common annoyance.

impl Node

pub fn invalid(&self) -> Option<Invalid>

pub fn toggled(&self) -> Option<Toggled>

pub fn live(&self) -> Option<Live>

pub fn default_action_verb(&self) -> Option<DefaultActionVerb>

pub fn aria_current(&self) -> Option<AriaCurrent>

pub fn auto_complete(&self) -> Option<AutoComplete>

pub fn has_popup(&self) -> Option<HasPopup>

pub fn list_style(&self) -> Option<ListStyle>

The list style type. Only available on list items.

pub fn text_align(&self) -> Option<TextAlign>

pub fn vertical_offset(&self) -> Option<VerticalOffset>

impl Node

pub fn transform(&self) -> Option<&Affine>

An affine transform to apply to any coordinates within this node and its descendants, including the bounds property of this node. The combined transforms of this node and its ancestors define the coordinate space of this node. /// This should be None if it would be set to the identity transform, which should be the case for most nodes.

AccessKit expects the final transformed coordinates to be relative to the origin of the tree’s container (e.g. window), in physical pixels, with the y coordinate being top-down.

pub fn bounds(&self) -> Option<Rect>

The bounding box of this node, in the node’s coordinate space. This property does not affect the coordinate space of either this node or its descendants; only the transform property affects that. This, along with the recommendation that most nodes should have a transform of None, implies that the bounds property of most nodes should be in the coordinate space of the nearest ancestor with a non-None transform, or if there is no such ancestor, the tree’s container (e.g. window).
