**AMA** comes with predefined rules and severity levels for the built-in components and hooks. These rules have been created to improve the accessibility of each element and should always be respected.

Customizing log levels can be done via the `ama.config.json` file to handle edge cases that are out of our control, and require breaking a rule or two.

AMA guidelines are categorised as:
Create a JSON file called `ama.config.json` in the project's root folder to customise the log rules, then specify the custom log level for the wanted key.

### Example

The JSON file does not need to contain all log keys. **AMA** uses the default rule if a key is not present:

```json
{
rules: {
"CONTRAST_FAILED": "warn",
"CONTRAST_CHECKER_MAX_DEPTH": 0,
}
"accessibilityLabelExceptions": ["FAQ"]
}
```

## Log Levels

**AMA** guidelines are categorised as:

- <Must /> and <MustNot />: Those best practices are <b>enforced</b> and AMA overlays an error when fail
- <Should /> and <ShouldNot />: Those best practices are <b>preferred</b> and AMA prints only prints a warning message when fail

The possible log levels are:

- **error**: The AMA error overlay when a check fails
- **error**: The **AMA** error overlay when a check fails
- **warn**: A `console.warn` is performed when a check fails

# Accessibility as a First-Class Citizen With React Native AMA

A.M.A. stands for **A**ccessible **M**obile **A**pp and is a React Native library that offers the best accessibility tooling experience and guides to guide you through accessibility best practices while you code your app.
## Overview

That's why we created AMA, a set of components and hooks designed to enforce minimum accessibility requirements.
This is combined with extensive [guidelines](https://commerce.nearform.com/open-source/react-native-ama/guidelines/) to help you understand how accessibility should work when manually testing your app. Finally we have provided a [checklist](https://commerce.nearform.com/open-source/react-native-ama/checklist/) which condenses these guidelines, explaining their intended functionality against specific features or components.
**A.M.A.** stands for **A**ccessible **M**obile **A**pp and is a React Native library that offers the best accessibility tooling experience as well as expert guides to support you with accessibility best practices while developing your app.

AMA consists of a family of packages under the npm `@react-native-ama` namespace. These packages are designed to work together to build up an accessible mobile app, allowing developers to subscribe to the bits they need without installing the full set of packages from the start. All packages leverage the `@react-native-ama/core` package to provide accessible mobile app functionality. This package must be installed first before any others can work.

React Native provides the necessary tools to create accessible apps [^1]. However, it leaves the developer on their own to determine what and when to use them. AMA solves this issue [^1] by conducting accessibility checks during your app's runtime [^1].

## Runtime Dev Tooling (Accessibility Checks)

Adopting an "accessibility-first" approach is the best way to ensure that digital experiences are inclusive for everyone. By prioritizing accessibility in the early stages of code development, you avoid having to later apply retroactive fixes which can be very time-consuming, expensive and difficult.
