Checks that input fields have accessible names

| | |
|---|---|
| **Rule ID** | `a11y/aria-input-field-name` |
| **Category** | [Accessibility](/rules/a11y) |
| **Scope** | Per-page |
| **Severity** | error |
| **Weight** | 7/10 |

## Solution

All input fields need accessible names. Best options: 1) Use `<label for='inputId'>`. 2) Use aria-label or aria-labelledby. 3) Wrap input in `<label>`. Placeholder alone is not sufficient as it disappears when typing.
