## Require `inline` prop on `<Link>` component inside a text block
# EXPERIMENTAL: Require `inline` prop on `<Link>` in text block

The `Link` component should have the `inline` prop when it is used inside of a text block.
This is an experimental rule. If you suspect any false positives reported by this rule, please file an issue so we can make this rule better.

## Rule Details

This rule enforces setting `inline` on the `<Link>` component when a `<Link>` is detected inside of a text block without distiguishable styling.
The `Link` component should have the `inline` prop when it is used within a text block and has no styles (aside from color) to distinguish itself from surrounding plain text.

The lint rule will essentially flag any `<Link>` without the `inline` property (equal to `true`) detected with string nodes on either side.
Related: [WCAG 1.4.1 Use of Color issues](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/use-of-color.html)

This rule will not catch all instances of link in text block due to the limitations of static analysis, so be sure to also have in-browser checks in place such as the [link-in-text-block Axe rule](https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.9/link-in-text-block) for additional coverage.
The lint rule will flag any `<Link>` without the `inline` property (equal to `true`) detected with string nodes on either side.

The edge cases that the linter skips to avoid false positives will include:
There are certain edge cases that the linter skips to avoid false positives including:

- `<Link className="...">` because there may be distinguishing styles applied.
- `<Link sx={{fontWeight:...}}>` or `<Link sx={{fontFamily:...}}>` because these technically may provide sufficient distinguishing styling.
- `<Link>` where the only adjacent text is a period, since that can't really be considered a text block.
- `<Link>` where the children is a JSX component, rather than a string literal, because then it might be an icon link rather than a text link.
- `<Link>` that are nested inside of headings as these have often been breadcrumbs.

This rule will not catch all instances of link in text block due to the limitations of static analysis, so be sure to also have in-browser checks in place such as the [link-in-text-block Axe rule](https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.9/link-in-text-block) for additional coverage.

## Options

- `skipImportCheck` (default: `false`)

By default, the `a11y-explicit-heading` rule will only check for `<Heading>` components imported directly from `@primer/react`. You can disable this behavior by setting `skipImportCheck` to `true`.
