# Lens for Laravel Brings WCAG Auditing to Your Local Dev Workflow

**[Laravel News](https://daily.dev/sources/ln)** · 4 min read · 12 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

Lens for Laravel is a dev-only package that scans Laravel applications for WCAG accessibility violations using Axe-core and a headless Chromium browser. It maps each issue back to the specific Blade template file and line number, and provides a web dashboard, an Artisan CLI command for CI/CD integration, and optional AI-assisted fix suggestions via Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic. The dashboard supports single-page, multi-URL, and full-site crawl audits, groups results by WCAG level (A, AA, AAA), and can export PDF reports. The package is restricted to local environments by default. Automated scanning catches roughly 20–30% of WCAG violations, so manual testing remains necessary for full compliance.

> This is really useful—catching WCAG issues locally with file-level mapping saves a lot of time. Good reminder that automated scans help, but you still need manual checks for full accessibility.
