gulp-w3cjs

w3cjs wrapper for gulp to validate your HTML

Usage

First, install gulp-w3cjs as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-w3cjs

Then, add it to your gulpfile.js:

var w3cjs = require('gulp-w3cjs');

gulp.task('w3cjs', function () {
	gulp.src('src/*.html')
		.pipe(w3cjs())
		.pipe(w3cjs.reporter());
});

Custom Reporting

The results are also added onto each file object under w3cjs, containing success (Boolean) and messages (Array).

Example usage

var w3cjs = require('gulp-w3cjs');
var through2 = require('through2');

gulp.task('example', function () {
	gulp.src('src/*.html')
		.pipe(w3cjs())
		.pipe(through2.obj(function(file, enc, cb){
			cb(null, file);
			if (!file.w3cjs.success){
				throw new Error('HTML validation error(s) found');
			}
		}));
});

Example output

HTML Error: index.html Line 5, Column 19: Element title must not be empty.
    <title></title>

.../gulpfile.js:11
                                throw new Error('HTML validation error(s) found');
                                      ^
Error: HTML validation error(s) found
