Reference transformation:Before:react-doctor/no-autoplay-without-muted diagnostic in the current repository.
Required change:
- Always pair autoPlay with muted (and playsInline): <video autoPlay muted loop playsInline />. If the sound matters, drop autoPlay and let users start it.<video autoPlay src="/preview.mp4" />const A = () => <video autoPlay muted playsInline src="x.mp4" />;Constraints:
- Confirm the reported code matches the Before pattern.
- Make the smallest change that fixes the root cause.
- Preserve behavior and interfaces unrelated to this diagnostic.
- Reuse existing project components, utilities, and conventions.
- Do not introduce render-phase side effects, render-phase state updates, or Hooks rule violations.
- Preserve accessible names, focus order, keyboard behavior, and touch access not targeted by this rule.
- Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly.
- Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code.
- Confirm this rule is enabled for the project:
react.
Verification:
- Run focused tests for the changed behavior.
- Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears.
- Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.Related rules
