jsx-a11y/no-aria-hidden-on-focusable

aria-hidden="true" hides an element from screen readers, but the Tab key still stops on it. The user lands on something that isn't announced and can't tell where focus went.

An element with a tabIndex is focusable if the value is 0 or more. Without a tabIndex, these are focusable: <a> and <area> with an href, and <button>, <input>, <select> and <textarea> that aren't disabled.

--fix removes the aria-hidden attribute.

Configure

Off by default. To turn it on:

[lint.rules]
"jsx-a11y/no-aria-hidden-on-focusable" = "error" # or "warn"

Examples

Reported:

const close = <button aria-hidden="true" onClick={closeDialog} />;
const panel = <div aria-hidden="true" tabIndex={0} />;

Not reported:

const close = <button aria-label="Close" onClick={closeDialog} />;
const icon = <svg aria-hidden="true" />;
const skipped = <button aria-hidden="true" tabIndex={-1} />;

Only aria-hidden and aria-hidden="true" are recognized. A value in braces isn't checked:

const close = <button aria-hidden={true} onClick={closeDialog} />;
