Add coexistence checks to all enqueue methods to prevent loading both React and Grid.js assets simultaneously. Changes: - ReactAdmin.php: Only enqueue React assets when ?react=1 - Init.php: Skip Grid.js when React active on admin pages - Form.php, Coupon.php, Access.php: Restore classic assets when ?react=0 - Customer.php, Product.php, License.php: Add coexistence checks Now the toggle between Classic and React versions works correctly.

_This package assumes that your code will run in an **ES2015+** environment. If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for such language features and APIs, you should include [the polyfill shipped in `@wordpress/babel-preset-default`](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/HEAD/packages/babel-preset-default#polyfill) in your code._

|
||
### setup
|
||
|
||
Create the live regions.
|
||
|
||
### speak
|
||
|
||
Allows you to easily announce dynamic interface updates to screen readers using ARIA live regions. This module is inspired by the `speak` function in `wp-a11y.js`.
|
||
|
||
_Usage_
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import { speak } from '@wordpress/a11y';
|
||
|
||
// For polite messages that shouldn't interrupt what screen readers are currently announcing.
|
||
speak( 'The message you want to send to the ARIA live region' );
|
||
|
||
// For assertive messages that should interrupt what screen readers are currently announcing.
|
||
speak( 'The message you want to send to the ARIA live region', 'assertive' );
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_Parameters_
|
||
|
||
- _message_ `string`: The message to be announced by assistive technologies.
|
||
- _ariaLive_ `[string]`: The politeness level for aria-live; default: 'polite'.

### Background
|
||
|
||
For context I’ll quote [this article on WordPress.org](https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/2015/04/15/let-wordpress-speak-new-in-wordpress-4-2/) by [@joedolson](https://github.com/joedolson):
|
||
|
||
> #### Why.
|
||
>
|
||
> In modern web development, updating discrete regions of a screen with JavaScript is common. The use of AJAX responses in modern JavaScript-based User Interfaces allows web developers to create beautiful interfaces similar to Desktop applications that don’t require pages to reload or refresh.
|
||
>
|
||
> JavaScript can create great usability improvements for most users – but when content is updated dynamically, it has the potential to introduce accessibility issues. This is one of the steps you can take to handle that problem.
|
||
>
|
||
> #### What.
|
||
>
|
||
> When a portion of a page is updated with JavaScript, the update is usually highlighted with animation and bright colors, and is easy to see. But if you don’t have the ability to see the screen, you don’t know this has happened, unless the updated region is marked as an ARIA-live region.
|
||
>
|
||
> If this isn’t marked, there’s no notification for screen readers. But it’s also possible that all the region content will be announced after an update, if the ARIA live region is too large. You want to provide users with just a simple, concise message.
|
||
>
|
||
> #### How.
|
||
>
|
||
> That’s what `wp.a11y.speak()` is meant for. It’s a simple tool that creates and appends an ARIA live notifications area to the <body> element where developers can dispatch text messages. Assistive technologies will automatically announce any text change in this area. This ARIA live region has an ARIA role of “status” so it has an implicit aria-live value of polite and an implicit aria-atomic value of true.
|
||
>
|
||
> This means assistive technologies will notify users of updates but generally do not interrupt the current task, and updates take low priority. If you’re creating an application with higher priority updates (such as a notification that their current session is about to expire, for example), then you’ll want to create your own method with an aria-live value of assertive.
