Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

remark-lint rule to warn when URLs are also defined identifiers.

Contents

What is this?

This package checks for likely broken URLs that should probably have been references.

When should I use this?

You can use this package to check links.

Presets

This plugin is not included in presets maintained here.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install remark-lint-no-reference-like-url

In Deno with esm.sh:

import remarkLintNoReferenceLikeUrl from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-no-reference-like-url@4'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import remarkLintNoReferenceLikeUrl from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-no-reference-like-url@4?bundle'
</script>

Use

On the API:

import remarkLint from 'remark-lint'
import remarkLintNoReferenceLikeUrl from 'remark-lint-no-reference-like-url'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkStringify from 'remark-stringify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await read('example.md')

await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkLint)
  .use(remarkLintNoReferenceLikeUrl)
  .use(remarkStringify)
  .process(file)

console.error(reporter(file))

On the CLI:

remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-no-reference-like-url .

On the CLI in a config file (here a package.json):

 …
 "remarkConfig": {
   "plugins": [
     …
     "remark-lint",
+    "remark-lint-no-reference-like-url",
     …
   ]
 }
 …

API

This package exports no identifiers. It exports no additional TypeScript types. The default export is remarkLintNoReferenceLikeUrl.

unified().use(remarkLintNoReferenceLikeUrl)

Warn when URLs are also defined identifiers.

Parameters

There are no options.

Returns

Transform (Transformer from unified).

Recommendation

While full URLs for definition identifiers are okay ([https://example.com]: https://example.com), and what looks like an identifier could be an actual URL ([text](alpha)), the more common case is that, assuming a definition [alpha]: https://example.com, then a link [text](alpha) should instead have been [text][alpha].

Examples

ok.md
In
[**Mercury**][mercury] is the first planet from the sun.

[mercury]: https://example.com/mercury/
Out

No messages.

not-ok.md
In
[**Mercury**](mercury) is the first planet from the sun.

[mercury]: https://example.com/mercury/
Out
1:1-1:23: Unexpected resource link (`[text](url)`) with URL that matches a definition identifier (as `mercury`), expected reference (`[text][id]`)
image.md
In
![**Mercury** is a planet](mercury).

[mercury]: https://example.com/mercury.jpg
Out
1:1-1:36: Unexpected resource image (`![text](url)`) with URL that matches a definition identifier (as `mercury`), expected reference (`![text][id]`)

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, remark-lint-no-reference-like-url@4, compatible with Node.js 16.
