NAME
Catalyst::TraitFor::View::MarkupValidation - Validates output and
replaces it with an error report if not OK
SYNOPSIS
package Catalyst::View::Validation;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
extends qw/Catalyst::View::TT/;
with qw/Catalyst::TraitFor::View::MarkupValidation/;
__PACKAGE__->config(MARKUP_VALIDATOR_URI => q[http://localhost/w3c-validator/check]);
1;
DESCRIPTION
This is a Role which which takes generated content that is ready for
output and validates it. If there are errors it replaces the default
output with an error report.
CONFIGURATION
You must set the MARKUP_VALIDATOR_URI to the URI for an instance of the
W3C Markup Validation Service. You are encouraged to install a local
instance of the validator so that you see high levels of performance and
do not hammer the public server (which is funded by donations).
See for downloads and installation
instructions on a variety of platforms.
CAVEATS
This is useful when you're developing your application, as it will
identify validity errors in the markup. In production, however, the
performance cost is likely to be too high, and throwing errors at users
that browsers could probably recover from is unfriendly.
This module checks that Catalyst is running in debug mode and will not
run if it is not.
METHOD MODIFIERS
after process
Validates document and (in event of an error) replaces it with an error
report.
TODO
Make document types that get validated configurable
Add line numbering to output
Hyperlink from error to source
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Please report any you find using RT.
If URI to validation service is incorrect, shows error report w/ 0
errors.
