npm Updates Search Experience with New Objective Sorting Options
npm has a revamped search experience with new, more transparent sorting options—Relevance, Downloads, Dependents, and Publish Date.
The Nu Html Checker (v.Nu) helps you catch unintended mistakes in your HTML, CSS, and SVG. It enables you to batch-check documents from the command line and from other scripts/apps, and to deploy your own instance of the checker as a service (like validator.w3.org/nu). Its source code is available, as are instructions on how to build, test, and run the code.
vnu.jar
is a packaged version of the Nu Html Checker for batch-checking
documents from the command line and from other scripts/apps.
You can work with vnu.jar
in CommonJS modules.
npm install --save vnu-jar
npm install --save vnu-jar@next
'use strict';
const { execFile } = require('child_process');
const vnu = require('vnu-jar');
// Print path to vnu.jar
console.log(vnu);
// Work with vnu.jar, for example get vnu.jar version
execFile('java', ['-jar', `"${vnu}"`, '--version'], { shell: true }, (error, stdout) => {
if (error) {
console.error(`exec error: ${error}`);
return;
}
console.log(stdout);
});
Run the checker with one of the following invocations:
• vnu-runtime-image/bin/vnu OPTIONS FILES
(Linux or macOS)
• vnu-runtime-image\bin\vnu.bat OPTIONS FILES
(Windows)
• java -jar ~/vnu.jar OPTIONS FILES
(any system with Java8+ installed)
…where FILES
are the documents to check, and OPTIONS
are zero or more of
the following options:
--errors-only --Werror --exit-zero-always --stdout --asciiquotes
--user-agent USER_AGENT --no-langdetect --no-stream --filterfile FILENAME
--filterpattern PATTERN --css --skip-non-css --also-check-css --svg
--skip-non-svg --also-check-svg --xml --html --skip-non-html
--format gnu|xml|json|text --help --verbose --version
The Options section below provides details on each option, and the rest of this section provides some specific examples.
Note: Throughout these examples, replace ~/vnu.jar
with the actual path to
that jar file on your system, and replace vnu-runtime-image/bin/vnu
and
vnu-runtime-image\bin\vnu.bat
with the actual path to the vnu
or vnu.bat
program on your system — or if you add the vnu-runtime-image/bin
or
vnu-runtime-image\bin
directory your system PATH
environment variable, you
can invoke the checker with just vnu
.
To check one or more documents from the command line:
vnu-runtime-image/bin/vnu FILE.html FILE2.html FILE3.html...
vnu-runtime-image\bin\vnu.bat FILE.html FILE2.html FILE3.html...
java -jar ~/vnu.jar FILE.html FILE2.html FILE3.html...
Note: If you get a StackOverflowError
error when invoking the checker, try
adjusting the thread stack size by providing the -Xss
option to java:
java -Xss512k -jar ~/vnu.jar ...
vnu-runtime-image/bin/java -Xss512k \
-m vnu/nu.validator.client.SimpleCommandLineValidator ...
To check all documents in a particular directory DIRECTORY_PATH
as HTML:
java -jar ~/vnu.jar DIRECTORY_PATH
vnu-runtime-image/bin/vnu DIRECTORY_PATH
vnu-runtime-image\bin\vnu.bat DIRECTORY_PATH
Note: The examples in this section assume you have the
vnu-runtime-image/bin
or vnu-runtime-image\bin
directory in your system
PATH
environment variable. If you’re using the jar file instead, replace vnu
in the examples with java -jar ~/vnu.jar
.
To check all documents in a particular directory DIRECTORY_PATH
as HTML, but
skip any documents whose names don’t end with the extensions .html
, .htm
,
.xhtml
, or .xht
:
vnu --skip-non-html DIRECTORY_PATH
To check all documents in a particular directory as CSS:
vnu --css DIRECTORY_PATH
To check all documents in a particular directory as CSS, but skip any documents
whose names don’t end with the extension .css
:
vnu --skip-non-css DIRECTORY_PATH
To check all documents in a particular directory, with documents whose names end
in the extension .css
being checked as CSS, and all other documents being
checked as HTML:
vnu --also-check-css DIRECTORY_PATH
To check all documents in a particular directory as SVG:
vnu --svg DIRECTORY_PATH
To check all documents in a particular directory as SVG, but skip any documents
whose names don’t end with the extension .svg
:
vnu --skip-non-svg DIRECTORY_PATH
To check all documents in a particular directory, with documents whose names end
in the extension .svg
being checked as SVG, and all other documents being
checked as HTML:
vnu --also-check-svg DIRECTORY_PATH
To check a Web document:
vnu _URL_
example: vnu http://example.com/foo
To check standard input:
vnu -
example:
echo '<!doctype html><title>...' | vnu -
echo '<!doctype html><title>...' | java -jar ~/vnu.jar -
When used from the command line as described in this section, the checker provides the following options:
Specifies whether ASCII quotation marks are substituted for Unicode smart
quotation marks in messages.
default: [unset; Unicode smart quotation marks are used in messages]
Specifies that only error-level messages and non-document-error messages are
reported (so that warnings and info messages are not reported).
default: [unset; all messages reported, including warnings & info messages]
Makes the checker exit non-zero if any warnings are encountered (even if
there are no errors).
default: [unset; checker exits zero if only warnings are encountered]
Makes the checker exit zero even if errors are reported for any documents.
default: [unset; checker exits 1 if errors are reported for any documents]
Makes the checker report errors and warnings to stdout rather than stderr.
default: [unset; checker reports errors and warnings to stderr]
Specifies a filename. Each line of the file contains either a regular
expression or starts with "#" to indicate the line is a comment. Any error
message or warning message that matches a regular expression in the file is
filtered out (dropped/suppressed).
default: [unset; checker does no message filtering]
Specifies a regular expression. Any error message or warning message that
matches the regular expression is filtered out (dropped/suppressed).
As with all other checker options, this option may only be specified once.
So to filter multiple error messages or warning messages, you must provide a
single regular expression that will match all the messages. The typical way
to do that for regular expressions is to OR multiple patterns together using
the "|" character.
default: [unset; checker does no message filtering]
Specifies the output format for reporting the results.
default: "gnu"
possible values: "gnu", "xml", "json", "text" [see information at URL below]
https://github.com/validator/validator/wiki/Service-%C2%BB-Common-params#out
Shows detailed usage information.
Check documents as CSS but skip documents that don’t have *.css extensions.
default: [unset; all documents found are checked]
Force all documents to be checked as CSS, regardless of extension.
default: [unset]
Check documents as SVG but skip documents that don’t have *.svg extensions.
default: [unset; all documents found are checked]
Force all documents to be checked as SVG, regardless of extension.
default: [unset]
Skip documents that don’t have *.html, *.htm, *.xhtml, or *.xht extensions.
default: [unset; all documents found are checked, regardless of extension]
Forces any *.xhtml or *.xht documents to be parsed using the HTML parser.
default: [unset; XML parser is used for *.xhtml and *.xht documents]
Forces any *.html documents to be parsed using the XML parser.
default: [unset; HTML parser is used for *.html documents]
Check CSS documents (in addition to checking HTML documents).
default: [unset; no documents are checked as CSS]
Check SVG documents (in addition to checking HTML documents).
default: [unset; no documents are checked as SVG]
Specifies the value of the User-Agent request header to send when checking
HTTPS/HTTP URLs.
default: "Validator.nu/LV"
Disables language detection, so that documents are not checked for missing
or mislabeled html[lang] attributes.
default: [unset; language detection & html[lang] checking are performed]
Forces all documents to be be parsed in buffered mode instead of streaming
mode (causes some parse errors to be treated as non-fatal document errors
instead of as fatal document errors).
default: [unset; non-streamable parse errors cause fatal document errors]
Specifies "verbose" output. (Currently this just means that the names of
files being checked are written to stdout.)
default: [unset; output is not verbose]
Shows the checker version number.
