What should be the value of the role attribute when I apply onclick to a div. I read the documentation WAI-ARIA Roles, but not able to find any specific role value of a div. I am working in React and this ponent is inside a loop, on this ponent I have to go to another page when clicking on this ponent. What should be the value of the role attribute, If I do not use the role attribute then ES-Lint gives me a warning which is not acceptable.

On rereading your question, EDIT: since you are performing a navigation : role ="link"
.
For actions, you need role="button"
But, try to use the correct semantic whenever possible.
As it goes to another page - role="link"
as it is effectively a hyperlink (<a>
)
However if you have your routing set up correctly just swap your <div>
for an anchor <a>
and set the href
attribute to the target.
With that being said role="link"
has good support so you should be fine with that.
Also consider that if this is a <div>
then you need to add tabindex="0"
to it so it can be focused with a keyboard and also handle the Enter and Space keys being pressed to also activate the link.
Much easier to use an <a>
element from the start as you can imagine!
