a11yShiny: Accessibility Enhancements to Popular R Shiny Functions

Accessible wrappers for popular 'shiny' UI components, enforcing ARIA attributes and structural requirements in line with BITV 2.0 (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung) and WCAG 2.1 AA. Covers action buttons, text and select inputs, fluid page layouts with HTML landmarks and skip links, 'DT' data tables, and bar and line graphs from 'ggplot2'. Components validate label presence, expose keyboard-accessible ARIA states, and provide a high-contrast toggle. This package was developed by d-fine GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR).
