no-invalid-link-title

The title attribute is a useful way to give users extra context for a link. However, this content should be complementary content and should not be the exact same value as the link text.

This rule checks links for the presence of a title attribute and ensures that it is not the same as the link text.

Examples

This rule forbids the following:

<a href="https://mytutorial.com" title="read the tutorial">Read the Tutorial</a>

This rule allows the following:

<a href="https://mytutorial.com" title="New to Ember? Read the full tutorial for the best experience">Read the Tutorial</a>,

Migration

• If the title attribute value is the same as the link text, it's better to leave it out.
