ARIA treeitem nodes should have an accessible name
What is the problem?
The aria-treeitem-name rule ensures that every ARIA treeitem has a clear and accessible name.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Screen reader users rely on these names to understand the structure and content of tree-like structures, such as navigation menus or file systems. Without clear names, users may struggle to navigate and find the information they need.
How to solve this issue
To fix this, provide a clear and descriptive name for each ARIA tree item using either the aria-label, aria-labelledby or title attribute. This will help screen reader users understand the purpose and content of each item.
