AMP validator validate AMP HTML Accelerated Mobile Pages

amphtml-validator Node.js Package

This package is published and available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/amphtml-validator.

The source code is available at https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/tree/main/validator/js/nodejs.

Command Line Tool

The amphtml-validator command line tool is documented here: https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/learn/validation-workflow/validate_amp#command-line-tool

Node.js API

This API is new - feedback is especially welcome.

To install, use npm install amphtml-validator in your project directory, or add amphtml-validator as a dependency to your package.json.

You may save the following example into a file, e.g., demo.js.

'use strict';
var amphtmlValidator = require('amphtml-validator');

amphtmlValidator.getInstance().then(function (validator) {
  var result = validator.validateString('<html>Hello, world.</html>');
  (result.status === 'PASS' ? console.log : console.error)(result.status);
  for (var ii = 0; ii < result.errors.length; ii++) {
    var error = result.errors[ii];
    var msg =
      'line ' + error.line + ', col ' + error.col + ': ' + error.message;
    if (error.specUrl !== null) {
      msg += ' (see ' + error.specUrl + ')';
    }
    (error.severity === 'ERROR' ? console.error : console.warn)(msg);
  }
});

Now try running it:

$ node demo.js
FAIL
line 1, col 0: The mandatory attribute '⚡' is missing in tag 'html ⚡ for top-level html'. (see https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/learn/spec/amphtml#required-markup)
line 1, col 0: The parent tag of tag 'html ⚡ for top-level html' is '$root', but it can only be '!doctype'. (see https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/learn/spec/amphtml.html#required-markup)
...

As expected, this emits errors because the provided string in the example, <html>Hello, world.</html> is not a valid AMP HTML document.

The method validateString also takes a htmlFormat parameter which would allow applying the validator rules for AMP4ADS or AMP4EMAIL as well. `validateString(inputString, htmlFormat).

/**
 * Validates the provided inputString; the htmlFormat can be 'AMP' or
 * 'AMP4ADS'; it defaults to 'AMP' if not specified.
 * @param {string} inputString
 * @param {string=} htmlFormat
 * @return {!ValidationResult}
 * @export
 */
