schemata-validator

Check the validity of Schema.org vocabulary used in JSON-LD data

schemata-validator takes JSON-LD and HTML files using JSON-LD data and returns detailed validation results.

Installation

Install package for Node.js:

pnpm add --save-dev schemata-validator

You can also install it using npm:

npm install --save-dev schemata-validator

Usage

Options

data

Type: array

Specifies which JSON-LD data to be sent to validation. This option takes precedence over the other options.

files

Type: array
CLI arguments: -f <space-separated list of files>, --files <space-separated list of files>

Specifies which files to be sent to validation. This option takes precedence over the other options.

paths

Type: array
CLI arguments: -p <space-separated list of paths>, --paths <space-separated list of paths>

Specifies which folders or files to be sent to validation. When omitted, all files are validated (skipping the node_modules folder), unless the exclude option is specified.

exclude

Type: array CLI arguments: -e <space-separated list of paths>, --exclude <space-separated list of paths>

Lists strings to match in paths to skip. When omitted, all files specified by files options if defined (all files otherwise) are validated (skipping the node_modules folder).

dryRun

Type: boolean
Default: false CLI arguments: -d, --dry-run

Bypasses the validation (for usage while building CI).

const jsonld = `{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "WebPage",
  "name": "Web page title",
  "description": "Web page description"
}`;
const options = { data: [jsonld] };
const validator = new SchemataValidator(options);
const validate = await validator.validate();
validator.log(validate); // Outputs the reporting object
