SHACL.js
Usage
Create a new SHACL validator and load shapes and data to trigger the validation.
The validation function returns a ValidationReport
object that can be used to inspect conformance rand results.
var validator = new SHACLValidator();
validator.validate(data, "text/turtle", shapes, "text/turtle", function (e, report) {
console.log("Conforms? " + report.conforms());
if (report.conforms() === false) {
report.results().forEach(function(result) {
console.log(" - Severity: " + result.severity() + " for " + result.sourceConstraintComponent());
});
}
});
Building for the web
A browser version of the library will be built in the dist
directory using the gulp browserify
task.
Running the tests
Tests can be run using the test
gulp task.
Running the web tests
Tests can be run for the browser version running the test-web
gulp task. This task will generate the test cases from
the node version and start a server in port 3000. The browser version of the library must have been built before running
this task.
Regenerating vocabularies and libraries
The vocabularies for SHACL and DASH are located in the vocabularies
directory. After modifying these files, they must
be transformed into library code using the generate-vocabularies
gulp task.
The JS libraries referenced in the DASH vocabulary can be found in the shared
directory. They can be bundled into the
library build using the generate-libraries
gulp command. If they are not bundled, the library will try to de-reference
them using HTTP.
