styled-components-a11y
An ESLint plugin that enforces accessibility rules for Styled Components, covering all seven component creation methods.
What is styled-components-a11y?
eslint-plugin-styled-components-a11y is an ESLint plugin that extends accessibility linting to projects using Styled Components. It applies the rules from eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y to styled components, catching accessibility issues that traditional JSX linting misses in CSS-in-JS codebases.
Frontend developers and teams using Styled Components (or similar CSS-in-JS libraries) who need to enforce web accessibility standards in their React applications.
Developers choose this plugin because it comprehensively handles all seven methods Styled Components uses to create elements, including styled tags, `.attrs()`, component extension, and the `as` prop, which standard JSX a11y linting does not cover. It provides ready-to-use recommended and strict configs for easy integration into both legacy and flat ESLint configurations.
