# 웹 접근성 및 prefers-reduced-motion

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 motion 은 default-on 이 아닌 opt-in 으로 design 되어야 한다"**. WCAG 2.2 / WAI-ARIA / EN 301 549 의 누적된 standard 와 함께, `prefers-reduced-motion` media query 는 매 vestibular disorder, migraine, attention disorder 사용자 의 web 접근성 lifeline 이다. 2026 의 production app 은 motion 을 system preference 에 따라 dynamic 하게 swap 한다.

## 매 핵심

### 매 a11y 의 기둥 (WCAG 2.2)
- **Perceivable**: text alt, color contrast 4.5:1, captions.
- **Operable**: keyboard nav, focus visible, no seizure trigger.
- **Understandable**: clear label, predictable nav, error help.
- **Robust**: valid markup, ARIA correctly used.

### 매 motion 의 위험
- **Vestibular**: parallax, large translate → nausea.
- **Photosensitive**: flashing > 3Hz → seizure (WCAG 2.3.1).
- **Cognitive**: auto-play loop → distraction.

### 매 응용
1. Hero 의 fade-in 만, no parallax for reduced.
2. Transition 의 fade swap (no slide).
3. Loading spinner 의 static fallback.

## 💻 패턴

### CSS media query
```css
/* default: full motion */
.card {
  transition: transform 300ms cubic-bezier(.2,.8,.2,1),
              opacity 200ms ease;
}
.card:hover { transform: translateY(-4px) scale(1.02); }

/* reduced: minimize */
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .card,
  .card * {
    transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
    scroll-behavior: auto !important;
  }
  .card:hover { transform: none; }
}
```

### Tailwind v4
```html
<div class="transition motion-reduce:transition-none
            hover:scale-105 motion-reduce:hover:scale-100
            motion-safe:animate-bounce">
  ...
</div>
```

### JS detection (matchMedia)
```ts
const reduceMotionMQ = window.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)");

function shouldAnimate(): boolean { return !reduceMotionMQ.matches; }

reduceMotionMQ.addEventListener("change", e => {
  document.documentElement.dataset.motion = e.matches ? "reduce" : "full";
});
```

### React hook
```tsx
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";

export function usePrefersReducedMotion() {
  const [reduced, setReduced] = useState(
    () => typeof window !== "undefined" &&
          window.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)").matches
  );
  useEffect(() => {
    const mq = window.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)");
    const onChange = (e: MediaQueryListEvent) => setReduced(e.matches);
    mq.addEventListener("change", onChange);
    return () => mq.removeEventListener("change", onChange);
  }, []);
  return reduced;
}

// usage
function Hero() {
  const reduce = usePrefersReducedMotion();
  return reduce
    ? <StaticHero />
    : <ParallaxHero />;
}
```

### Framer Motion
```tsx
import { motion, useReducedMotion } from "framer-motion";

function Card() {
  const reduce = useReducedMotion();
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0, y: reduce ? 0 : 20 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      transition={{ duration: reduce ? 0 : 0.4 }}
    />
  );
}
```

### GSAP
```ts
import gsap from "gsap";
const reduce = matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)").matches;

if (!reduce) {
  gsap.from(".hero", { y: 60, opacity: 0, duration: 0.8 });
} else {
  gsap.set(".hero", { opacity: 1, y: 0 });
}
```

### Focus visible (keyboard a11y)
```css
:focus { outline: none; }
:focus-visible {
  outline: 2px solid var(--color-focus);
  outline-offset: 2px;
}
```

### Skip-to-content link
```html
<a href="#main" class="skip-link">Skip to main content</a>

<style>
.skip-link {
  position: absolute; left: -9999px;
}
.skip-link:focus {
  position: fixed; top: 1rem; left: 1rem;
  padding: .5rem 1rem; background: black; color: white;
  z-index: 9999;
}
</style>
```

### ARIA + visible-text-only icon button
```html
<button aria-label="Close dialog" type="button">
  <svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
    <path d="M6 6l12 12M6 18L18 6" stroke="currentColor"/>
  </svg>
</button>
```

### Color contrast check (CI)
```js
// tests/contrast.test.ts
import { hex } from "wcag-contrast";
import tokens from "../tokens.json";

test("text on bg meets AA", () => {
  expect(hex(tokens.color.text, tokens.color.bg)).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(4.5);
});
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| decorative parallax | disable on reduce |
| critical feedback motion | keep, but shorten |
| auto-playing carousel | pause, user-controlled |
| keyboard-only user | focus-visible + skip-link |
| screen reader | ARIA label + semantic HTML |
| color signal only | add icon/text alternative |

**기본값**: motion-safe wrapper + ARIA + WCAG AA contrast + axe CI.

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: ARIA label suggestion, alt text drafting, animation reduce variant proposal, axe failure interpretation.
**언제 X**: real screen-reader testing — NVDA/JAWS/VoiceOver 의 manual run 필수.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **`outline: none` no focus-visible**: keyboard user 의 invisible nav.
- **Auto-play 무한 motion**: ignores reduced-motion entirely.
- **ARIA without semantic**: `<div role="button">` 대신 `<button>` 사용.
- **Color-only meaning**: red/green 만으로 status — colorblind 차단.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (WCAG 2.2 W3C 2023, MDN prefers-reduced-motion, axe-core rules).
- 신뢰도 A.
