w3c-validate
A node.js library for testing web responses against the w3c html validator. Inspired by w3cjs, but based purely on buffers.
Use with your tests.
Installation
npm install w3c-validateUsage
var w3c = require('w3c-validate').createValidator();
w3c.validate('<html> ... </html>', function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error(err); // error includes [{message, context}] to help understand validation errors
} else {
console.log('Valid! Hurray!');
}
});Example async testing with Mocha
var request = require('supertest')
, express = require('express')
, w3c = require('w3c-validate').createValidator();
var app = express();
app.get('/page', function(req, res){
res.send(200,
'<!DOCTYPE html>' +
'<html lang="en">' +
'<head><title>Hello</title></head>' +
'<body>World</body>' +
'</html>');
});
describe('html validation', function(){
it('page should have no html errors', function(done){
request(app)
.get('/page')
.expect(200)
.end(function(err, res){
if (err) return done(err);
w3c.validate(res.text, done);
});
})
})Ignoring errors
Sometimes, you'll have W3C Validation errors that you just want to ignore. Once you've identified the exact error message, you can pass that to the factory method. The validator will ignore these.
var w3c = require('w3c-validate').createValidator([
'Attribute xmlns:fb not allowed here.'
