A command line interface and npm package for the WebVTT JavaScript parser.
npm install webvttA node.js command line interface and npm package for the WebVTT JavaScript parser.
This is a simple command line wrapper around the WebVTT JavaScript parser. It was written to enable faster development of a WebVTT test suite. Th
e npm module includes the WebVTT parser, and allows one to pass file(s) in order to be validated.
$ npm install webvtt
installs the webvtt shell command.
Validate a single file, printing error messages, if any:
$ webvtt file.vtt
Validate two files, printing error messages, if any:
$ webvtt file1.vtt file2.vtt
Validate a single file, don't print error messages:
$ webvtt -s file.vtt
``
$ webvtt
Usage: webvtt [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-s, --silent don't print errors messages
`
The webvtt command will exit with an error code of 0 (no errors) or 1 (errors), depending on the file(s) given as input. If run in silent mode (-s or --silent), no output will be printed, otherwise each error encountered in a file will be printed in the following format:
`
filename:linenumber.column: message
For example:
`
$ webvtt file.vtt
file.vtt:1.0: No valid signature. (File needs to start with "WEBVTT".)
