Install

**[Detailed explanation in a blogpost](https://codeable.io/community/wordpress-accessibility-creating-accessible-dropdown-menus/).**

1. You can install this class using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) (preferred method) or manually copying [this file](https://github.com/ProteusThemes/WAI-ARIA-Walker_Nav_Menu/blob/master/aria-walker-nav-menu.php) to your theme / project.
2. After that, include it in your theme, probably something like (assuming you installed it using Composer):

```
require_once 'vendor/proteusthemes/wai-aria-walker-nav-menu/aria-walker-nav-menu.php';
```

You must [enqueue](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) [wai-aria.js](https://github.com/ProteusThemes/WAI-ARIA-Walker_Nav_Menu/blob/master/wai-aria.js) as well, because the `aria-expanded` attributes needs to be updated with JS.

1. Finally, include the menus in your theme files as per example below:
