@passmarked/html

Passmarked is a suite of tests that can be run against any page/website to identify issues with parity to most online tools in one package.

The Terminal Client is intended for use by developers to integrate into their workflow/CI servers but also integrate into their own application that might need to test websites and provide realtime feedback.

All of the checks on Passmarked can be voted on importance and are open-sourced, to encourage community involvement in fixing and adding new rules. We are building the living Web Standard and love any contributions.

Synopsis

The rules checked in this module are:

• applet - The page contains Java Applets in either it's HAR / Page Content / Javascript or detected Stack.
• flash - The page contains Flash in either it's HAR / Page Content / Javascript or detected stack.
• silverlight - The page contains Silverlight in either it's HAR / Page Content or detected stack.

The w3c service produces a large list of rules as well, these rules are cleaned and generated a key according to output. So it's a bit hard to list all the UID's that can be used, the best move is to check passmarked.com/library/html for the complete list of rules that can be produced and to something specific that you might be looking for.

Running

The rules are checked everytime a url is run through Passmarked or our API. To run using the hosted system head to passmarked.com or our Terminal Client use:

npm install -g passmarked
passmarked --filter=html example.com

The hosted version allows free runs from our homepage and the option to register a site to check in its entirety. Using the Passmarked npm module (or directly via the API) integrations are also possible to get running reports with all the rules in a matter of seconds.

Running Locally

All rules can be run locally using our main integration library. This requires installing the package and any dependencies that the code might have such as a specific version of Openhtml, see #dependencies

First ensure passmarked is installed:

npm install passmarked
npm install @passmarked/html

After which the rules will be runnable using promises:

passmarked.createRunner(
  require('@passmarked/html'), // this package
  require('@passmarked/css'), // to test css
  require('@passmarked/network') // to test network performance
).run({
  url: 'http://example.com',
  body: 'body of page here',
  har: {log: {entries: []}}
}).then(function(payload) {
  if (payload.hasRule('secure')) {
    console.log('better check that ...');
  }
  var rules = payload.getRules();
  for (var rule in rules) {
    console.log('*', rules[rule].getMessage());
  }
}).catch(console.error.bind(console));

Alternatively, callbacks are also available:

passmarked.createRunner(
  require('@passmarked/html'), // this package
  require('@passmarked/css'), // test css
  require('@passmarked/network') // test network performance
).run({
  url: 'http://example.com',
  body: 'body of page here',
  har: {log: {entries: []}}
}, function(err, payload) {
  if (payload.hasRule('secure')) {
    console.log("better check that ...");
  }
  var rules = payload.getRules();
  for (var rule in rules) {
    console.log('*', rules[rule].getMessage());
  }
});

Dependencies

The module requires access to a running version of the VNU validator from W3C. To confingure the module looks for the `` environment variable which will overide the default.

VNU_VALIDATOR=https://checker.html5.org

Other open hosting options include:

• https://checker.html5.org
• https://validator.w3.org/nu/
• https://html5.validator.nu/

By default the module uses https://checker.html5.org, which is one of the free hosted versions provided, but be aware of limits as they are open and everyone can use them ...

If you are like us and expect higher loads, Passmarked runs a internallly hosted version of the service that we scale, the docker build for which has been open sourced over at github.com/passmarked/vnu. Using this file with the following gives you a fully running VNU service on Alpine OS that can be used:

docker build --tag=passmarked/vnu:latest .
docker run tag=passmarked/vnu:latest

Or even easier look into deploying it on services like App Engine to remove the management from yourself.

Rules

Rules represent checks that occur in this module, all of these rules have a UID which can be used to check for specific rules. For the structure and more details see the Wiki page on Rules.

Rules also include a type which could be critical, error, warning or notice giving a better view on the importance of the rule.

Contributing

git clone git@github.com:passmarked/html.git
npm install
npm test

Pull requests have a prerequisite of passing tests. If your contribution is accepted, it will be merged into develop (and then master after staging tests by the team) which will then be deployed live to passmarked.com and on NPM for everyone to download and test.
