Enforce that autoFocus prop is either not set at all on elements or is only set to false. Auto-focusing elements can cause usability issues for sighted and non-sighted users, alike.

Rule options

This rule takes one optional object argument of type object:

            "ignoreNonDOM": true
        }],
    }
}

For the ignoreNonDOM option, this determines if developer created components are checked.
