jsx_a11y/heading-has-content Correctness ​

What it does ​

Enforce that heading elements (h1, h2, etc.) have content and that the content is accessible to screen readers. Accessible means that it is not hidden using the aria-hidden prop.

Why is this bad? ​

Screen readers alert users to the presence of a heading tag. If the heading is empty or the text cannot be accessed, this could either confuse users or even prevent them from accessing information on the page's structure.

Example ​

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

jsx
<h1 />

Examples of correct code for this rule:

jsx
<h1>Foo</h1>
