grunt-html-validation Build Status

NPM

W3C html validation grunt plugin. Validate all files in a directory automatically.

Getting Started

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']);

The "validation" task

Overview

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',
