executiveSummary string '' Use this to describe the biggest takeaway of the chart.
purpose string '' Use this to describe the purpose of this particular chart.
contextExplanation string '' Use this to explain any controls or content on your page that affect or are affected by this chart.
title string '' Gives the chart an alternate title to be used by screen readers.
elementDescriptionAccessor string '' Optional key used to add an additional description to any element, from your data.
statisticalNotes string '' Use this to provide any statistical explanations, such as trends, clusters, patterns, or outliers.
structureNotes string '' Use this to describe special visual features of the chart, such as sorting, color grouping, etc.
includeDataKeyNames boolean false If true, includes data key names in voice over description of each element. EG "Year over year growth: 5.6%" instead of just "5.6%"
hideDataTableButton boolean false If true, hides the data table button (but it is still available to screen reader users).
disableValidation boolean false If true, disables validations of accessibility props for this chart. Validation is intended to be used during development; upon completion, validation should be disabled.
elementsAreInterface any/boolean null Defaults to null. Set to true if interacting with the elements in this chart affects your application. Otherwise, must be set to false.
onChangeFunc function undefined Custom event listener (changeFunc) that enables dev to control accessibility page experience when chart data updates.
showSmallLabels boolean false Defaults to false. Set to true if you would like to display labels on small elements that are likely to overlap. Note, this could impact accessibility of your graphic. Note: This prop is not currently enabled in this chart and has no effect on the alluvial diagram
hideStrokes boolean false Defaults to false. Set to true if you would like to remove automated stroke outlines from the chart, note, this could impact accessibility of your graphic. Note: This prop is not currently enabled in this chart and has no effect on the alluvial diagram

You will need to construct your own functionality of what actions to take within the callback.
onDrawStartEvent function undefined When drawStart event occurs (e.g., chart render function is called), this event handler will be called with the custom event object (e.g., e), containing the corresponding chartID at e.detail. You will need to construct your own functionality of what actions to take within the callback.
onDrawEndEvent function undefined When drawEnd event occurs (e.g., chart's stencil lifecycle completes), this event handler will be called with the custom event object (e.g., e), containing the corresponding chartID at e.detail. You will need to construct your own functionality of what actions to take within the callback.
onTransitionEndEvent function undefined When transitionEnd event occurs (e.g., chart geometry's transition lifecycle completes), this event handler will be called with the custom event object (e.g., e), containing the corresponding chartID at e.detail.

INodeConfigType Definition

Name Type Default Value(s) Description
fill boolean false Toggles whether to categorically color nodes.
width number 24 (from d3) Width in px to set the nodes in the alluvial, leverages d3-sankey's node width.
padding number 8 (from d3) Spacing in px to add between nodes vertically, leverages d3-sankey's node padding.
alignment string 'left' Leverages d3-sankey's node alignment functionality, options are 'left', 'right', 'center', or 'justify'.

ILinkConfigType Definition

Name Type Default Value(s) Description

fillMode string 'none' Determines how to color links in the alluvial, options are 'group' (requires groupAccessor), 'source', 'target', 'link', or, 'none'.
opacity number 0.3 Sets opacity of links in the alluvial.

IDataLabelType Definition

Name Type Default Value(s) Description
labelAccessor string '' Key used to determine label's property.
visible boolean true Toggles the visibility (opacity) of the data labels.
placement string 'top' Sets the placement of the data label. Examples of values are 'inside' and 'outside'. Placement option 'auto' leverages the resolveLabelCollision algorithm and places labels without overlaps in available space on the chart.
format string '0[.][0][0]a' Sets the formatting for the data labels, EG %b, refer to d3-time-format and numeral.js.
collisionHideOnly boolean false Toggles whether to run resolveLabelCollision algorithm and hide labels if collision is detected (vs hide and then place). This is overridden by placement being set to auto.
collisionPlacement string 'auto' Sets the placement of the data label when resolveLabelCollision algorithm is run (dataLabel.placement must be 'auto'). Examples of values are 'auto', 'outside' and 'inside'.

ITooltipLabelType Definition
