jsx_a11y/tabindex-no-positive Correctness

✅ This rule is turned on by default.

🚧 An auto-fix is still under development.

What it does

Enforces that positive values for the tabIndex attribute are not used in JSX.

Why is this bad?

Using tabIndex values greater than 0 can make navigation and interaction difficult for keyboard and assistive technology users, disrupting the logical order of content.

Example

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

<span tabIndex="1">foo</span>

Examples of correct code for this rule:

<span tabIndex="0">foo</span>
<span tabIndex="-1">bar</span>

How to use

To enable this rule in the CLI or using the config file, you can use:

CLI

oxlint --deny jsx-a11y/tabindex-no-positive --jsx-a11y-plugin

Config (.oxlintrc.json)

{
  "plugins": ["jsx-a11y"],
  "rules": {
    "jsx-a11y/tabindex-no-positive": "error"
  }
}
