anchor-has-content

Enforce that anchors have content and that the content is accessible to screen readers. Accessible means that it is not hidden using the aria-hidden prop. Refer to the references to learn about why this is important.

Rule details

This rule takes one optional object argument of type object:

json { "rules": { "jsx-a11y/anchor-has-content": [ 2, { "components": [ "Anchor" ], }], } }

For the components option, these strings determine which JSX elements (always including <a>) should be checked for having content. This is a good use case when you have a wrapper component that simply renders an a element (like in React):

```js // Anchor.js const Anchor = props => { return ( { props.children } ); }

...

// CreateAccount.js (for example) ... return ( Create Account ); ```

Succeed

jsx <a>Anchor Content!</a> <a><TextWrapper /><a> <a dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: 'foo' }} />

Fail

jsx <a /> <a><TextWrapper aria-hidden /></a>
