API

BuenosHtmllint (class)

var $buenosHtmllint = require('buenos-htmllint');

var instance = new $buenosHtmllint();

.log

The log object containing the status of the checked files.

.options

The parsed options object.

.promise

A promise that is resolved when the linter is complete. The log is provided as argument.

var $buenosHtmllint = require('buenos-htmllint');

var instance = new $buenosHtmllint();
instance.promise.then(function (log) {
    // done processing!
    console.log(log);
});

reporter

The default reporter. Useful in case you want to combine your own reporter with the default reporter.

var $buenosHtmllint = require('buenos-htmllint');

new $buenosHtmllint({
    reporters: [
        [ $buenosHtmllint.reporter, { path: './reports/buenos-htmllint.json' }],
        myReporter
    ]
});

embeddedConfig

Returns the htmllint config as embedded in the module.

var $buenosHtmllint = require('buenos-htmllint');

console.log(
    $buenosHtmllint.embeddedConfig()
);

Reporters

You can specify your own reporters. A reporter is called as a function, the first argument being the log, the second argument being the reporter config (if defined).

var $buenosHtmllint = require('buenos-htmllint');

new $buenosHtmllint({
    reporters: [
    
        // function, no config can be defined
        reporterWithoutConfig,
        
        // array of function, no config defined 
        [ reporterWithoutConfig ],
        
        // array of function and config obj
        [ reporterWithConfig, { myConfig: 'defined' } ]
    ]
});

function reporterWithoutConfig (log, config) {
    
    // log = $buenosHtmllint.log
    // config = undefined
    
}


function reporterWithConfig (log, config) {
    
    // log = $buenosHtmllint.log
    // config = { myConfig: 'defined' };
    
}
