grunt-bootlint

A Grunt wrapper for Bootlint, the HTML linter for Bootstrap projects

Getting Started

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-bootlint --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bootlint');

The "bootlint" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named bootlint to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  bootlint: {
    options: {
      stoponerror: false,
      relaxerror: []
    },
    files: ['path/to/file.html', 'path/to/*.html']
  }
});

Options

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to lint files for common problems in bootstrap.

grunt.initConfig({
  bootlint: {
    options: {
      relaxerror: [],
      showallerrors: false,
      stoponerror: false,
      stoponwarning: false
    },
    files: ['test/fixtures/*.html']
  }
});
