gulp-w3cjs

w3cjs wrapper for gulp to validate your HTML

Usage

First, install gulp-w3cjs as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-w3cjs

Then, add it to your gulpfile.js:

var w3cjs = require('gulp-w3cjs');

gulp.task('w3cjs', function () {
	gulp.src('src/*.html')
		.pipe(w3cjs())
		.pipe(w3cjs.reporter());
});

Custom Reporting

The results are also added onto each file object under w3cjs, containing success (Boolean) and messages (Array).

Example usage

var w3cjs = require('gulp-w3cjs');
var through2 = require('through2');

gulp.task('example', function () {
	gulp.src('src/*.html')
		.pipe(w3cjs())
		.pipe(through2.obj(function(file, enc, cb){
			cb(null, file);
			if (!file.w3cjs.success){
				throw new Error('HTML validation error(s) found');
			}
		}));
});

Example output

HTML Error: index.html Line 5, Column 19: Element title must not be empty.
    <title></title>

.../gulpfile.js:11
                                throw new Error('HTML validation error(s) found');
                                      ^
Error: HTML validation error(s) found

API

w3cjs(options)

options.url

URL to the w3c validator. Use if you want to use a local validator. This is the same thing as w3cjs.setW3cCheckUrl().

options.proxy

Http address of the proxy server if you are running behind a firewall, e.g. http://proxy:8080

options.doctype and options.charset were dropped in 1.0.0. Use 0.3.0 if you need them.

options.verifyMessage

Allows you to intercept info, warnings or errors, using options.verifyMessage methed, returning false will skip the log output. Example usage:

gulp.src('index.html')
.pipe(w3cjs({
	verifyMessage: function(type, message) {

		// prevent logging error message
		if(message.indexOf('Element “style” not allowed as child of element') === 0) return false;
		
		// allow message to pass through
		return true;
	}
}))
.pipe(w3cjs.reporter())

w3cjs.setW3cCheckUrl(url)

Same as options.url. SEt's the URL to the w3c validator.
