Firefox App Validator: Manifest

What it is

This is the Firefox App manifest validator for verifying that your manifest.webapp file has the correct information before submitting to the Firefox Marketplace.

Setup

git clone git@github.com:mozilla/node-firefox-app-validator-manifest.git
cd node-firefox-app-validator-manifest
npm install

Checking your manifest: an example

var fs = require('fs');
var Manifest = require('firefox-app-validator-manifest');
var ff = new Manifest({
    url: '/path/to/custom/url/module' // custom URL module if you want to override the node one
});

fs.readFile('manifest.webapp', 'utf8', function (err, data) {
  if (!err) {
    var results = ff.validate(data, options);

    // If there are any errors or warnings, this will have them listed.
    console.log(results);
  }
});

Options

The first parameter to the validate() method expects a webapp manifest. The second parameter, however, can be an object containing validation options.

These options include:

• listed - default false, flag whether or not this app will be listed on the Marketplace

• packaged - default false, flag whether or not this app is packaged, rather than a plain web app

Tests
