W3C html validation grunt plugin. Validate all files in a directory automatically.
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1
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-html-validation --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-html-validation');
And add to your task list using validation
:
grunt.registerTask('default', ['validation']);
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named validation
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
validation: {
options: {
reset: grunt.option('reset') || false,
stoponerror: false,
remotePath: 'http://decodize.com/',
remoteFiles: ['html/moving-from-wordpress-to-octopress/',
'css/site-preloading-methods/'], //or
remoteFiles: 'validation-files.json', // JSON file contains array of page paths.
relaxerror: ['Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta.'] //ignores these errors
},
files: {
src: ['<%= yeoman.app %>/*.html',
'!<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html',
'!<%= yeoman.app %>/modules.html',
'!<%= yeoman.app %>/404.html']

<!-- CONTENT -->
</body>
</html>
Type: Array
Default value: ``

remoteFiles: ['html/moving-from-wordpress-to-octopress/',
'css/site-preloading-methods/']
you can also provide a file that contains an array of pages.
remoteFiles: 'validation-files.json'
['html/getting-started-with-yeoman-1-dot-0-beta-on-windows',
'html/slidemote-universal-remote-control-for-html5-presentations/',
'html/simple-responsive-image-technique/']
Type: Array
Default value: ``
Helps to skip certain w3c errors messages from validation. Give exact error message or a regular expression in an array & validator will ignore those relaxed errors from validation.
