grunt-validate-webapp

Grunt task to validate a webapp manifest file

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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-validate-webapp --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-validate-webapp');

The "validatewebapp" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named validatewebapp to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  validatewebapp: {
    options: {
      absolute: false,
      packaged: false
    },
    your_target: {
      files: { src: /* list the manifests */ }
    },
  },
});

Options

options.absolute

Type: Bool Default value: false

Type: Bool Default value: true

If true the manifest is validated for a packaged app, as in appcache manifests are disallowed.

options.listed

Type: Bool Default value: false

Whether or not this app will be listed on the Marketplace.
