HTML Validation for Nuxt

I always like to take a look at the nuxt modules created by the community and just recently I discovered a module that was on the list for some time already but was not as popular. So in today article, I will take a look at html-validator module for Nuxt!

This module is actually based on another JS library -> https://html-validate.org/

So the module is mainly a wrapper around it that allows for easier usage in nuxt apps.

What is html-validate?

It is an Offline HTML5 validator that validates either a full document or a smaller (incomplete) template, e.g. from an AngularJS or Vue.js component. It comes with several functionalities out of the box:

  • Fragments and components
  • Offline
  • Strict parsing
  • HTML5 content model
  • Accessibility tests
  • Extendable
  • Frameworks support

Basically, it will work like this:

And this:

Usage in Nuxt

As explained before, Nuxt module is mainly a wrapper that comes with:

  • Zero-configuration required
  • Helps reduce hydration errors
  • Detects common accessibility mistakes

The usage is very simple. Add @nuxtjs/html-validator dependency to your project:

yarn add @nuxtjs/html-validator # or npm install @nuxtjs/html-validator
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Add @nuxtjs/html-validator to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/html-validator'],
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And that's it! You will have accessibility and content checks from now on enabled!
