ARIA commands must have an accessible name
What is the problem?
The aria-command-name rule ensures that all interactive elements, such as buttons, links, and menu items, have clear and descriptive labels.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Clear labels are essential for screen reader users to understand the purpose of interactive elements. Without them, users may miss important actions or be unable to navigate the website effectively.
How to solve this issue
To address this issue, ensure that each element with role="link", role="button", or role="menuitem" has either inner text that can be read by screen readers, a non-empty aria-label attribute or an aria-labelledby attribute that refers to an element with text that can be read by screen readers.
