The role read-only property of the ElementInternals interface returns the WAI-ARIA role for the element. For example, a checkbox might have role="checkbox". It reflects the role attribute; it does not return the element's implicit ARIA role, if any, unless explicitly set.

Value

A string which contains an ARIA role. A full list of ARIA roles can be found on the ARIA techniques page.
